Suspension Reports

General Forums Blender Artists Updates
1

We had to suspend a user this week and wanted to provide full transparency of the situation and the application of our policies to the community by opening this topic.

Community flagging is essential in identifying accounts in need of restriction; we appreciate your help and support in our efforts to keep our community civil and constructive.

Suspensions are a last resort. We make every effort to foster constructive behavior in a non-restrictive way. This action is the result of repeated violations of our code of conduct.

Suspended users can reach out to @moderators for further clarification or to appeal the suspension.
