Rules are very restrictive. I have witnessed MOD Abuse and Mod Favoritism, though I haven't experienced it personally. Thankfully, I'm not such a near sighted person that I would say something to the effect that it hasn't happened to me so it can't be happening as some comments and reviews are saying on here. It is a real issue on this site - more prevalent than I've seen on any other site. They have a very... non-empathetic and belittling approach. You may not ask them for help in most situations. Admin has done old users dirty as well, I would know as a user that's been there since 2005 on and off. If you're an artist - DO NOT open up shop here - the rules are infinite, ridiculous, and have run off some God-level artists. Finally quitting for good and not looking back. My advice is if you want to make some pretty ponies, put in $14. But don't invest any type of real money into this site, it could be taken away from you in a blink, or all the stuff you bought could become worthless in a blink of an eye.
