I'm leaving one week, and what do I see when I come back?

CatWhoHas14tails has removed all of her drawings, and she won't send anymore.
Drewthewolf and GK have stopped sending news about their Balto 4 projects. They won't be sending anymore art either.

And I don't count the wars on the shout boxes.
Why? Because the members on the site have been rude to each other, especially on the whole fanart stealing topic, and I wonder if some people here still know the word "respect". I must say this is a big disappointement, and I am also very angry about this. This is not something very new, but this is getting out of hand.

I have to tell you that I will increase the site moderation by a lot. I feel that I need to be much more strict from now on if I don't want the site to fall into pieces, so I have to announce you that there will be some big "cleaning" soon. I will not anymore hesitate to ban someone for some time if I feel it's necessary to keep the peace on the site. And it has already begun.
I will start by hiring many new mods, and I will prepare some things this week end.
But all of this can't work if people don't consider this : is it so difficult to stay kind with everyone, to make the effort of understanding the positions of other people, especially people you don't really like? Cheer up! Life is too short to be battling for stupid things!
