It's one thing to process someone's data (with permission), and, another thing altogether to go ape and apply the clown vomit filter (set to 11) and completely ruin someone's very hard work.
The garbage that that person was spewing was just atrocious. I'm glad to see the images removed and the user banned.

Not every one can afford astroimaging gear, and those who can might not be as good on the processing side.
That said if an author specifically says not to use their data, then out of respect and curtsey, it should not be used.
I for one very soon when I publish my first astroimages, will be supplying the raw data for others to use, so everyone can be part of this fine art.
