This really pains me to do this as I love this forum but I am removing myself/cancelling my membership. I am really disappointed that ALVAMA has been BANNED. This man has talent and creativity far beyond anyone else here. Regardless of the infringement he committed, the BANNED status is not right and I cannot ethically contribute to this forum any more.
Sorry to all my mates for doing this but I feel very strongly about this.
Alex...you are an inspiration and I hope you keep producing the fine work that you have been producing.

Alavama isen't banned, he just had his colours demoted. I have all the faith that in time he will back in the colours as have the others whom have been given the same punishment before.

Glad to hear you are staying
In my opinion memberdhip status is just a title. as long you are a respected member of this forum and produce top quality drawing like ALVAMA i see no reason to stop.

In the end, the membership status-clasess are the sign that We as staff trust one to be presented as "respectfull" participant of this community. Respect is not automatic, and definetily its not something that wouldn't then never change. In situations when members with that status behave the way that the respect is lost in eyes of the staff, naturall measure is to remove such title. In this forum, the colors don't bring any technical priviledges.
Aside my facepalm moments of amazement how every single moderation against normal memebers here is always dealt with huge drama and whining, another thing I cannot understand is why such thing that I described above seems so alien to some people. I therefore challenge everyone who have shown dissident ideas to post here, with their full intend and say: "All members are equall but some members are more equall than others. Those some members are rigth to be juvenile, rude, ignorant and insulting and nothing cannot be done to them simply becouse they contribute so much."
If you don't have heart to do so, then I advice everyone to leave all grunt behind and focus on behaving well and beeing polite in the future.
