Ok, Noel, then how do YOU suggest we handle people who repeatedly violate the TOS?  Give them gift certificates?  How about a fruit basket?

The simple fact is this:
Renderosity has rules.
You are expected to follow them.
The rule following is NOT contingent on whether or not you spent money in the store.
If you break the rules enough times, you get banned.

This happens here, DAZ, RDNA, and most likely other sites with stores.  You are not guaranteed access to the site (including purchases you've made) if you insist on not following the rules of the site.  We don't throw out bans like they're candy.  We take a long hard look at a member's history, and, in a lot of cases, we throw OUT past violations, if a member has worked hard to redeem themselves in the eyes of the community (and not just us).

The fact is, if you go into a brick and mortar store, and manage to get kicked out of their store, you're not allowed back in.  It's no different online, nor should it be.  Want to be able to perpetually access your items?  Don't get banned.

It's not hard to follow the rules.  They're not arbitrary, and they're spelled out.  With almost 50 staff members, there is a wealth of people to turn to to ask questions.

So, you can "stand by your previous statement", which is false, or get a clue.  We don't ban people for JUST thumbnail violations.
