Shoshanna, Jeny, it is a good thing to create new guidelines and revise the TOS. But there's more that needs to be done. This mess is a symptom of a far more serious problem: Renderosity has grown BIG. It reminds me very much of my previous employer, a small company that had grown big and forgot the fact that a large team spread out all over the country needs a completely different organization and structure than a small team located in a single building. My previous employer is expected to go bankrupt this fall. I do not know the exact number of moderators, coordinators and admins here, but I expect they number in the dozens. With so many people, a well-defined organization, and clear and unambiguous rules and procedures are vital to survive. I don't know these rules, I only know the TOS. And I wouldn't be surprised if many of the staff don't know much more than the TOS themselves. I categorally refuse to believe any of the renderosity staff has malicious intentions. But without a clear internal structure messes like these are bound to happen again and again. Don't only treat the symptoms, treat the disease. I love Renderosity, and I really would hate to see it go down due to the lack of organization.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
