We can do factual also. From the galleries entry page: [I can get a screencap if you'd rather do a "picture is worth a thousand words" thing] "All Galleries Welcome to the All Galleries This Gallery provides members a place to post their original Computer Generated art. Rights to images remain with the artist." "provides members " when you ban someone they're no longer a member - and they no longer have the tools to remove their gallery and other coprighted materials. That makes it a responsibility of the site to do so when requested. "Rights to images remain with the artist." That's pretty straight forward: an when the copyright holder asks for them to be removed, and it's refused, you're laying the site open to legal difficulties if the copyright holder chooses to have his/her attorney issue a Cease and Desist order to you. If that C&D order is refused, then proceedings go from there. If the rights to copyrighted materials remain with the creator [and they do in lieu of a full rights contract being signed over to the site], then Renderosity has no rights for keeping them on display when asked to remove them. It's too much work for a mod or admin to remove them? Er... comes with the job so... tough, deal with it. What they were banned for is of no consequence to wether they have a right to request their property be removed and expect it done.
