There's something I'd like to know about member records. The TOS state that a first violation results in deletion of a post and an entry in the member record. A second violation results in a temporary ban - and another entry. A third violation results in a permanent ban. I've been a member here for almost two years now. Fairly active, in this period I've posted almost 200 images and over a thousand forum posts. Two of my images have been removed for TOS violations, long ago, and none of my forum posts have been removed. I'd say I'm a well behaved member here. Still, should I post something that would be considered a TOS violation, it would be the third one and I could be permanently banned according to the TOS. Now I don't think I run the risk of getting permanently banned if I should post another thing that went a little over the edge. It wouldn't be reasonable, and in my experience the mods and coordinators here are very reasonable people. Still I'd like to know better what the Renderosity policy is regarding incidental minor TOS violations. On a side note: two weeks ago I posted an image that could be considered a TOS violation. Instead of simply deleting it and recording a warning, the coordinator politely asked me by PM to change the image. I really appreciated this, I fixed the image and now it's TOS safe. Kudos to Angel1 for handling this in a professional and pleasant manner!
