There isn't a person in the world who could possibly have interpretted the TOS to imply (let alone state) that running a contest in the galleries was not allowed. This has been handled in such an unfair and unprofessional manner, not giving anyone any kind of heads up before taking these drastic steps. I can't imagine how it could have hurt anyone to have posted a story on the Renderosity front page stating that "From now on, contests MUST be handled in this manner..." and then explained the exact policy. I know that admins and mods regularly look in the galleries and MUST have known that these contests were being held. EVERY contest invariably has at least a couple of images make it to the Hot 20 page. Why all of a sudden this had to be handled this way MUST be explained before any fences can be mended! jen
