In any case, I made some suggestions:

1. If there is a TOS violation in a thread, delete the violating post and inform the user EXACTLY what they did that was a violation. 2, If there are some posts that you feel are on the verge of a TOS violation, post a warning in that thread that SPECIFICALLY mentions the posts in question, and explains what you object to.
2. Do not lock threads in which there have not been repeated TOS violations.
3. Never lock a thread in which there have been no TOS violations simply because it makes you uncomfortable.

But it seems that my suggestions were taken as some sort of attack and the response -- which is understandable -- was defensiveness.

But maybe it would help to imagine that we are talking about other mods and admins and users at other forums and trying to figure out what might be going wrong with THEM. If we all looked at Renderosity as though we are seeing it from outside, we might be able to discuss it with a little more objectivity, rather than feeling the very natural and normal compulsion to defend our actions (something we users, I readily point out, do just as often as the mods). We're all human, after all.

Just a thought.
