I'm curious which discussions you're talking about. Again, all of the licenses allow for commercial use, by design. Additional restrictions wouldn't be legally binding, nor within the parameters of the site's rules. I am, however, somewhat out of the loop thanks to a busy graduate school schedule so I'd appreciate a link or two.
CC-By-SA is in some ways slightly less restrictive than GPL licensing, which I think of as our most restrictive license option, but it's definitely more restrictive than CC-By, OGA-By or CC0, which are the other three choices. It also has some ambiguities which tend to lead to long discussions about what is technically required to use the assets, though I think most interpret it as you do. As always, it's your sole prerogative to decide what license you release your work under, and any open license is a good and generous choice. I am not trying to hassle you for picking that license at all, only saying that, on a relative scale, CC-By-SA is not one of the more permissive options on this site.
"I know, see it that way, it's been lots of work, I give it away for free, people get 5 monsters without any extra effort on this page, and get the other 32 by going to the external page. I know it's not the best way, but the assets are still free and open source AND not as restrictive as many other assets here (most are for non-commercial only)." I don't know why you think most assets here are non-commercial only. All of OGA's licenses allow for commercial use. CC-By-SA is actually one of the most restrictive licenses on the menu here.
For a number of reasons we can't have the content of submissions be kept in an offsite link. If you'd only like to share the five that are in the files and link to the full set that's fine, but you shouldn't put assets in the preview that aren't included in the submission, and the title should be changed to reflect what is actually available.
Collections being collectable is also something that's been discussed, though once again implementation has lagged behind. Alas, such things are apparently pretty complicated under the hood.
Ooh! It's great to see more FLARE assets, especially such nice-looking ones.

(Sorry, the previous post you responded to was just a spambot. I just wanted to leave a note to avoid confusion.)

Again? Dang it all.
I haven't been on the IRC much but I'll try and poke Bart about it.
If you're looking for static enemies ala FFV/FFVI, then this might be relevant: http://opengameart.org/content/sideview-pixel-art-rpg-enemy-sprites
Hello,
No, you're fine. It just probably got manually deleted before you got to it.
Here's a hint: if the message ends in a hotlink to an irrelevant website it's a spambot (with or without sweatshop labor to provide the posted text).
I don't know if reports reach anywhere I can see. But I deleted them now.
