I don't understand X2000 being banned for (I assume-the post is gone) stating a fact while ScottA definitely violated the TOS sometime last week in the Poser forum and didn't get banned. (at least to my knowledge if he did I'm sure someone will correct me)
Nothing personal to Scott, I don't care one way or the other I'm just pointing out something obvious.

On the poll, if it's been a public poll in the past and the reasons for pulling it are because of Legume I can see both sides of this.
On one hand it is unfair to Legume. If he is the popular vote so be it.
On the other hand, if people are voting out of some sort of spite or to get back at Renderosity for past differences then you should be able to see how posting messages in the forums and rallying everyone to vote for this reason is unfair to the other artists in the running and why they'd want to put a stop to it.
And nothing against Legume here either. I just find it ironic how suddenly contests like this are so important but when controversy in the Hot20 or AOM comes up everyone is tripping over themselves to be the first to say they don't care about such things.
