Okay, let's try to clear this up. We don't ban people the first time they post a gallery entry that breaks the rules. As far as I know that has never happened. At least not in the last 2 years which is as far back as I checked. The first time someone posts a TOS-breaking image, the image is removed and they get warned not to do it again. The second time they do it they get another warning and a ban of some sort (see below.) If they do it again, it's a permanent ban. To quote from the TOS: Members/Users found practicing these behaviors receive; Deletion of the post/s. First event - warning by email and/or IM. Second event ? Forum Suspension for 1 or 7 days or Temporary Community ban for 3 or 7 days. Third event ? Membership revoked, and access to the community permanently blocked. This includes any duplicate accounts for the same person. Renderosity considers this information private and confidential. However, there may be certain situations that necessitate otherwise. Since this seems to be one of those situations that necessitate otherwise and to quell further speculative arguments: On 08/16/2003 pierrecolat had an image removed and was sent a warning. On 09/05/2003 pierrecolat had 4 images removed, recieved a 7 day ban and was sent a second warning. I'm not giving the reasons why, they remain private between pierrecolat and Renderosity. Kev.
