"We are also trying to find out what in the guidelines for the site may have conveyed the impression that this behavior was acceptable, and to correct it. I'm sorry if that isn't instant or visible enough. We are trying." He has known all along that this behavior is unnacceptable. That's why he does it. Look at all the attention being lavished upon him. He should have been banned from the first infraction and had it let go at that. Why is it that warez requests are Zero Tolerance? No crime has been committed yet. But art theft, plagiarism, whatever you want to call it... purposeful and repeated misrepresentation of ownership of intellectual property, in which a crime HAS been committed (copyright violation), is a lesser infraction? By the way, some of the images he had posted here, by SHINYA, are not currently in SHINYA's gallery. Have you attempted to contact the artist to inform him about the situation? If you are going to insist upon verifying every single image on a case by case basis (Shingoboi is going to keep you folks VERY busy indeed), I suggest you ask him yourself to verify ownership.
