**Renderosity reserves the right to change, alter or modify the Terms of Service as needed..... Except that they didn't change, alter, or modify the terms. They just plain disregarded them. The problem is that the TOS is used as a club sometimes, and I've seen people get TOS warnings for things that are literally not in the TOS at all. I've also seen people post warez requests (which are supposed to be zero tolerence) and get nothing more than a slap on the wrist, and be told by the admin that zero tolerence doesn't really mean zero tolerence (they did baack down on that when enough people complained). YES, I think a site should evenly enforce its own rules. Gosh, how radical! Someone expecting the rules to be the rules ALL the time, and not only some of the time, or when it suits the admins to observe them (or not). Let me note again that I do NOT, in fact, think the image should be removed. I think it's a wonderful piece, well-made, good expression of emotion, good composition, etc. What I do think is that the TOS needs to be ammended or it needs to be enforced across the board. If they're going to use "TOS violation" as a means of controlling the membership, they need to make sure that the TOS is applied evenly and regularly ALL THE TIME. bonni
