This is the response I got back form one of the moderators... Instant Message from hauksdottir: Forevernyt, OK, I'm going to have to look into this and see what happened. If images are deleted, reasons are given and it is almost always because there is a violation on behalf of the poster. I'll get back to you. Carolly Renderosity Moderator I'd like to see all of the pictures reinstated with all of their comments. Luckily, my FCC contest pic is still up, and it had better stay up. It's the highest ranked picture I've done so far and I'm quite proud of it! This is just someone drunk on power. This needs to be addressed. How do contests hurt Renderosity? The prizes are usually GCs for their store anyway and it generates a lot of buzz. Someone needs to relax and let us all have some bastion of escapism from the real world!
