Surely all that was required, in the first instance, was a mail from Renderosity to Lady Cherry detailing concerns, and asking if she had a rational explanation. She shows them her server logs, as she's offered to do since this blew up, they compare stats, and we all live happily ever after if they tally. If, and only if, incontravertable proof is obtained of wrongdoing should the site have been pulled from the ring. Innocent until proven guilty, as so many have remarked. What was done here smacks more of Facism rather than the "art community" spirit that is on the site logos. I'm FAR from religious, but one phrase keeps on coming back to me from school Bible class or somewhere. "Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself" and it looks like that's happened to Renderosity in this thread, and deservedly so (imho) for reacting the way they did. Just because you're a business, and just because you consider you have top spot in your particular sphere of influence does NOT give you the right to disregard common courtesy let alone good business practice in this way.
