Okay, let’s clear up a few misconceptions:
- Spiel2001 has not been banned from the site.
- He has not been suspended.
- He has not been shut down, banished or muted.
- He is still able to update existing files, upload new files, respond to posts and comments, start new threads.
- nUI has not been removed from the site.
- Users’ access to the files has not been removed.
The only thing that has happened is that his Featured Artist status has been removed. Nothing more. And even with that he still has a forum of his own, unlike any other non-Featured Artist on the site. As well as his custom groups, which still exist and that he still has complete control over just as has always been the case. And his supporter only version (nUI+) is still available to those who are members of that group, which again is still completely under his control.
As for the rest of it, I am talking to him directly.
