I've no way of knowing if anyone is telling a complete and full story here, but I'd agree that a consistent admin procedure would be a good thing. And the unfortunate reality is that sometimes direct action has to be taken. There's bits and pieces in these accounts which certainly shouldn't happen. For instance, that problem with the address the admin email came from. I have spam filtering too. I use whitelist filters for some email source domains (I'm not going to give names, but they include a couple of major US ISP-operations). And I assume that an official Renderosity email with come from renderosity.com, just as eBay emails only come from eBay. Because anything else would mean that some abusive idiot could send out emails to a lot of artists.
