Actually, the TOS provides that: "Members/Users will not use this community for; Any practices that affect the normal operations of the community..." Moreover, the terms of the Gallery state that: "The Gallery provides members a place to post their original Computer Generated art." (Emphasis mine) Spam-posting the work of others in the Gallery is contrary to the terms of the Gallery and affects the normal operations of the community by needlessly increasing the bandwidth demands on R'osity's servers (imposing a cost on the owners) and by making it more difficult to navigate to original images in the Gallery. Furthermore, some members and users may choose to bail on the Gallery for a while, rather than wade through multiple postings...which hurts all artists posting to the Gallery. In addition, if the issue is not resolved, it would seem to be an open invitation for others to do the same, thereby multiplying these problems. Given the alternatives posted above, it would be my hope that the admins would contact those involved to resolve this issue informally.
