I think the big misunderstanding came from, one, the mods weren't alerted to the contest, two, contests can be held in the 'forums', especially the 'contest' forum , hence the name, but not in the 'galleries' as it really clutters up regular gallery postings more than they already are, burying new posts under 'contest' entries, three, both copyright and trademark infringement concerns were possibly being prompted by the 'contest' rules...

But they should have asked the contest people to remove/rename or move the works to the appropriate venue, before removing them, at least giving them the benefit of the compliance...
