poor enforcement of copyright policy/banning infringing users

1

Deviantart has decided that a user named Nads6969, aka Nadia Stepputat, can keep her account despite having 11 DMCA notices filed against her when users are supposed to be banned after receiving 3 DMCA notices. For 13 years, this middle-aged stay-at-home jobless chunk has traced the artwork of people young enough to be her children. Even worse - she has stopped asking permission/giving credit to the people she traces from, effectively passing their work off as her own. People have complained, asked her to stop, but she ignores them. Her victims have filed reports against her to the Help Desk, but have been told that "no action will be taken" against her account. Specifically, Kietz has refused to do his job and ban her account, which should have been banned 8 DMCA reports ago. Not sure if there's bribery going on or what, but it is ridiculous that we can't even trust our site admins to enforce copyright policy to help us protect ourselves when civil discourse is not possible.
