I Know From Experience When People Don't Follow Your Rules. It Angers The Artist. When Someone Fails To Follow Your Rules Simply Give Him A Warning, If They Dont Cooperate Simply Ignore Him. If They Proceed To Flame Report For Flaming And The Troll Should Get It, If They Still Dont Stop Simply Ask A Mod For Assistance.

Be Nice To Your Customer And They Will Remember Your Name...
