okay now, i didn't read the whole of this string however, here are my 2 cents worth for whatever they're worth. while yes, paypal is notorious for freezing accounts and such? why not go through another company to handle said accounts? i closed my paypal account a long time ago due to the same issues that most (and i've read extensive forums on this very same issue) are experiencing with paypal. secondly, just who has the right to tell anyone in a forum such as renderosity that they cannot submit, say, questionable material? personally, i take a little time in not posting nudity and the like even though this site is within the interest of art. that does not mean that everyone has to follow my own set of standards. soooo we'll be losing a great bit of resource material over what paypal wants renderosity to do? is that right of someone else telling another party to ban or delete "questionable material" because of their own set of rules? no. its not right. no one, i don't care who they believe themselves to be, has the right to tell another what to post, where to post it, or in what context. thats why our constitution is in place to begin with. what does that come under, freedom of expression? freedom of speech? so what, we have yet one more thing taken away from us due to the "policies" of another? personally i think it sucks and perhaps the higher powers that be within a wonderful site that gives both merchants and customers a vast amount of choices should seek another to handle they're accounts before paypal also restricts theirs like they've done to countless others without so much as a "bite me" and without explanation. sorry, yes, i'm venting. i think it sucks.
