I never said any thing about thumbnail violations.  I was commenting in general about making the punishment fit the crime (or misdemeanor).  The Main Point (IMO) was in favor of Rendo's policy..
And also pointing out that if artists are banned,   they cannot Buy.  Isn't this where Renderosity's income is obtained.?
It seems archaic to stop artists spending when banning from the galleries and/or freestuff may be more in the financial intrest of Rendo.
