hey there people....as you are probably aware mine was one of the contests directly effected by this ruling...and to enlighten anyone who may not have seen the messages flying about here is amdirect paste of the message ive recieved to "explain" "Instant Message from JenyK: Your gallery post "Warrior Contest" is in violation of Renderosity's Terms of Service and has been removed. This is your first warning and will be posted in your member record. Any practices that affect the normal operations of the community (Admins will take whatever steps are necessary to restore service). I'm very surprised that you would start a contest in the galleries instead of contacting us to find out how to properly sponsor a legitimate contest within our community. Below is the merchant contest forum that is private to merchants, mods and admins so you can discuss and launch your contest the right way. http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12438 Also, any images that are part of your contest or someone elses will also be removed." so there ya go....no more contest.... so heres what gonna happen with my contest! ill find a way to get this contest continuing! dont know how yet but it will carry on! ill mesage those that entered...i still have all your pictures if you need them back! message or email me if you wish them.....and if anyone has any ideas about running it still let me know.... its a stupid call by renderosity..and its damaged a good community! silly people
