I'm going to make this brief as possible (just had another 18 day....yay Marine Corps)

I like all of Crimson's ideas they make sense.  I'm pretty sure no matter what is posted the Mods can guess the intent...most of the time.  

A permanent ban I think should be used in only extreme cases.  I won't paint the picture but I'm pretty sure you all know what I mean by extreme.

There was a purge here...seemed to span from April-July (I used to look at the sight throught someone else's account...I hate giving my email out).  Some of these may have been justifiable but others...

I can't recall which but I'm guesing Stacy said she had corresponded with one such banned member and said for the most part he was amiable.  He too, says he didn't agree but understood the reason behind a temporary ban...(key words: didn't agree but understood), unfortunately it was his thrid time, the first being over a year and the second a month or so prior.  He agreed with the first one, just as the case with Crimson...it was one of those "oops yeah, I should have known better, took the render down and reposted it TOS compliant.  

The second, didn't agree.

The third really didn't agree at all (even though now he grudgingly sees why it could have gone either way)

One of the mods stated he was amiable even after his permanent ban...what upset him most is that he felt he was being accused of pedophilia...we can all say "no he wasn't" but to be permantly banned from a site for posting underage images....well what would you think if you were just an observer.  

I know what I thought  "damn, you gots problems" until he showed me the three renders that caused his permanent banning....yup like he said, first one just wrong...yeah if you take it in context you understand why, made sense...still dead wrong.  2nd...I still don't see anything wrong with that one...the third I finally saw a few days ago....yeah it can go either way.

Then there are the artist I don't know face to face, same thing with the Girl being the subject of the render, one of which was a well known vendor and at one point erased her whole gallery because...haven't seen her post anything new in awhile....probably got caught in the purge.

I have two other people I know who also were caught in the "purge"...one similar to the above situations...the other well let's just say I don't know what she was smoking but there was no attempt to even comply a little, beautiful compostition but the subject...way wrong.

Since I still work with her, I'm not going to say anything harsh because like others she probably has a "secret account" here too.  But if I didn't know who she was personally...

Are the times for a permanent ban?  Yes!

Should their be a probationary period for some of those (like not posting anything for a period of time but still be allowed to use the Marketplace) come on, the bucks supporting the site.

Of course I'm focusing on two  models...Aiko and the Girl...but like Capn' said whose next?  What new model will be considered "bad"?

I still hate kitties and still support the troops...tired me go sleep.
