Because there are so many images uploaded everyday, there is no way to view them and know of everything that is posted there. People on the team do try to go through, but we often are busy in forums and responding to IMs and emails. Many of us here have a lot of other responsibilities too. We rely a fair amount of the time on the members to notify us if they have any concerns. Copyright issues come up a lot. It's a little differ to post fan art verses the legal issues that can arise when now that same fan art image can win a prize. That changes the view of fair use because the creator is definitely gaining something. Yes, I admit I should have handled this better and I do apologize for that. I'm not real pleased at the way many others have handled it either.
