I'd make this in the Community Suggestions forum, but, um, I can't find it. ^_^;;; Anyway, it seems to me that a lot of hurt feelings and trouble could be fixed by an e-mail explaing not only that there has been a violation of the TOS, but WHAT part of the TOS and HOW. I've seen where this would help mostly in images that are removed from the galleries - a lot of people have been very angry because images have been taken down for violating the TOS and they don't know how. In this case, I very much appreciate Renderosity trying to protect someone's copyright, especially with some of the scandals we've had recently. But, just my armchair quarterbacking, I think it may have been a better course of action to remove the links and contact Moebius and Billy-home before banning. As for not getting a response from Billy-home about the IM and assuming it was being ignored, it's very easy to check the last time someone logged on. Two minutes would have shown that he had not yet GOTTEN the IM. I know you guys have a lot of work to do, but it seems like this situation was very avoidable.
