All right guys. One for time for the freakin record. IF YOU ARE GETTING ABUSIVE EMAILS HERE TELL A MODERATOR What do you think we are here for anyways? Our job is to help you all have a fun and useful experiance at the site, to protect your rights as members and as artists. If someone is harrasing you and will not stop, tell someone and we will make it stop. If you do NOT tell us, we will never know. We the moderating team is gung-ho about booting people who misbehave. Everyone has right to their opinions, as long as they are stated in a tasteful and respectful manner. The moment somone starts insulting people, or otherwise disrupting the site, is when we (the moderators) start to IM them asking them to behave. We give people every chance to change their behavior. Every person who has been banned (not for warez) has had several chances. And no member is ever banned without at least 3 or 4 opinions and a long debate in the backroom. I am in every day for at least an hour - right after coffee but before work, and usually for several hours later that night. Renderosity is set as my homepage. Pathetic, I know :) Every IM that is sent to me gets replied to. Eventually. If there is a delay, rest assured that it is because I'm conferring with the other PTB. And unlike many members here, we do not feel it is neccasary to broadcast a person's humiliation publicly. That sort of thing is between us and them. If they choose to tell the world, that's their issue. Lyrra the Extremely Cranky
