The last time she had her store closed for disagreeing with some aspects of prime. Her concerns on that were exactly what the store later said was the problem. She did so in a private forum back then as her warning yesterday stated she was supposed to do. She was never ever warned that time, nor was she banned they just closed her store without warning for pointing out that if they did prime as planned it was going to be a problem in a few years. She was brought back by previous administration who agreed she should never have had her store closed in the first place. It wasn't a case of previously breaking the rules when the later admin agreed she didn't do so.
I just think it's wrong because I know what she has been trying to do in the background and I know there was stuff she was doing that she was under an nda and couldn't talk about. I know that she did it with no pay for months because her husband kept telling her to let it go but she wanted the site to do well and that was part of why she stayed exclusive here because she genuinely wanted to help. She thought if she left that it would be seen as abandoning ship and that rendo needed exclusive vendors. I told her that her loyalty to rendo was never going to be returned and I am mad that I was right.
So where's Shawn's store??? She definitely didn't ask for it to be closed. There were no personal attacks. Stating the numerous issues that 99% of this "community" have with our "authority figures" isn't a personal attack, it's fact.
Her 2nd post that you take as a personal attack was simply to address your statement of being an authority and your statement about experience over age concerning the fb page you are in charge of.
Actually I did see it before she deleted it so did several others it was responded to and the response is still in the thread hanging like a loose chad in the wind, I have a copy of it and it was not a personal attack. I saw all of her posts as well as many others that are now gone, all agreeing with her.
OK, I read 3D-Arena's comments, and visited her store earlier in the day. I found it honest and not out of line. Did you seriously ban a respected vendor and delete her store for simply disagreeing with you? Really?
So in other words, Renderosity closed the store of one of its top exclusive vendors for rocking the boat, and are now giving a false narrative about why they did so. Wow. Just wow. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
