On the "report button" issue, yes it should be there, the mods are only human but if someone says "look at this" here, well they just publically stated something rather than whisper in someone's ear.  (Just got off the phone with Aikofan)  She pointed something out that she saw wrong here, she was blasted because everyone said she was finger pointing well then wtf is the report button....a coward's way to finger point.  Yet there were so many people who called her a six year old (Mods included) for being brave enough to say what she thought and that artist would know who.  What's the difference?   (yeah it was a long talk)

I now have read the entire conversation between a mod and a banned user, including his plea to be let back...and I can say, I'm sorely disappointed in the attitudes of certain mods but I am further disappointed by his giving up on the issue and for at least not voicing his opinion here since he has another ID and I know that he reads this.

In regards to the "finger pointing" thing, the proper way to handle something you have concerns about is to use the report button or contact a member of staff by Site Mail or email. Its not appropriate to post it in the forums.

As to reading the entire conversation between a mod and a banned user, this is one of the things I was talking about in my previous post. How can you know that you have read the entire conversation? And you wouldn't know what is on that members record and the exact facts of the situation if you weren't directly involved??  There is no way to know exactly what and how things transpired unless you were directly involved.  It boils down to if a member is banned then they violated our TOS mulitple times and that responsibility is on them because ultimately its their decision and choice to not adhere to the guidelines. If they choose not to repeatedly then the final result will be a ban.
