To clear up a few of the misconceptions that got bandied about in this thread:
- Admin DOES care.
- Members HAVE lost permissions for refusing to follow the guidelines (after reasonable benefit of the doubt has been given).
- Members attempting to scam other members HAVE been banned (when clear, irrefutable evidence has been presented).
- Using site resources to load a fake collection goes against the terms of service.
There is a specific protocol that is followed and steps that are taken before permissions are revoked or someone is banned from the site. It is not something that is done lightly. It is a private interaction between the site and the specific member and other members may not be privy to the process or what steps have already been taken.
