    Was this the 3rd or 4th time?

    Either way I guess it's the last.

    With singing up restrictions in place, I doubt he'll be coming back.

    Then shouldn't MikeBoldt be banned too? He contacted me over PM once too for shoots and a price point.

    Just sayin'

    A lot of people that had some sort of service to provide did this at one point. Now that the new rules have clearly been established, it'll probably be the continuing violators that get banned. There is no need to go on a retrospective banning spree.

    Shoot me a PM with a screenshot of the PM. If it's after the warning was posted, then he will be banned as well.

    Pretty interesting that after the first person was banned (Evolize) for soliciting business, everyone is ratting each other out.

    Wasn't after the warning, and it was on scat19 account.

    IMO rules for the photography section need to be revamped. Anyone posting a watermarked photo is basically advertising..

    I thought the photography section was a bit of a gray area given we didn't have any sponsors whose business would be affected by it.

    You raise a very good point. We've been *very* lenient on the photography section. On one hand, a lot of members appreciate professional photogs sharing the work, and those pro photogs need to protect their work by watermarking. So in these cases, we let it slide and allow it. That may change if we start having photogs sign up as sponsors, we'll work with the sponsors on a case by case basis.

    If someone sees those watermarks and deals with them directly over phone, emails, by all means that's none of our business.

    What I have a problem with are the photogs that are blatantly soliciting business over the forums and over PM. That's using our services without paying. Our services that we're offering is paid for by advertising, so in essence they're stealing from everyone here.

    Obviously, there's a lot of people that are still doing it, and we have no way of finding out unless there is a complaint. Like I said, the bannings seems to have started a chain reaction, and that's why there's a sudden increase of bannings over this rule.

    I'm putting my foot down on this one, as it impacts our ability to provide our community with the forums, legal (we paid for a member's legal fees in a libel case), prizes, etc. The money has to come from somewhere. Agreed or not, both quasimoto and Evolize were great members. The former helping you out, and the latter offering photography services for the R8 drive. As much as it sucked to have to had ban those 2, they clearly disregarded the rule after the warnings, and that's that.

    Well lets hope one or both step up as sponsors! It would be nice to keep them both around.
