Vendor EULA update request: if banned on forums, banned from selling on Asset Store

I wish to request Asset Store vendor EULA update.


1) If a vendor is banned on forums (due to forum moderation policies), that vendor should also be banned from selling on the asset store for all his/her other products.

2) Vendors are not allowed to resell other vendors's asset outside the asset store without permission. If this is discovered, that vendor should be removed from the asset store. It is unethical to sell Asset store items outside the Asset Store.


What nonsense is this,
A vendor gets banned on forums due to illegal activities, why is that vendor still on the asset store?


How will that vendor do support? How will that vendor respond to questions by others?


Vendors themselves should not be doing illegal activities, taking assets for resale (i.e., projects for sale), doing funny business (taking other people's assets and then claiming as your own).

 

Well, there are websites for a start...

Also, this reminds me of EA's mich loathed policy to ban people from playing their games if they got banned on the forums for whatever reason (some of them not making sense, too). I say unless a vendor violates the Asset Store's EULA he shouldn't be banned for things he did or didn't outside of it.

 

It should be a case-by-case scenario(which I suspect it already is). There is no reason someone should have their assets removed just because they spammed or trolled people consistently.

 

Well someone was temp banned for going off on one to me on PM's but his products are still good and people still have a bad day sometimes. He is still a valid member of the community. I disagree with OP's blanket statement. People do have a bad day sometimes.

If the user is banned for the reason of fraud, then that user should have assets removed on a case-by-case basis, not a blanket rule or anything. I'm sure you can use the report button on the asset store to report any nefarious doings instead of banning people because they had a bad day.

 

I refer to people who have been permanently banned from this forum.


I amend the request to:


1) If a vendor is permanently banned on forums (due to forum moderation policies), that vendor should also be banned from selling on the asset store for all his/her other products.


2) Vendors are not allowed to resell other vendors's asset outside the asset store without permission. If this is discovered, that vendor should be removed from the asset store. It is unethical to sell Asset store items outside the Asset Store (or pocket someone's else money in other words)

 

We get it, you really hate scammers and stuff. But like hippocoder said:

There are plenty of other reasons that people would be perm banned on our forums, I honestly don't see the reason for a blanket statement. If someone is doing illegal things on the asset store, it will catch up to them. I don't see one real reason to ban someone on the asset store because they're perm banned on the forums.
