It's a common thing among lightpainters where they feel it necessary to explain it was done in one exposure. A fellow lightpainting friend of mine once got a ban on 500px for "photoshopping" an image which was absolutley created in one. I also think a lot of lightpainters aren't really sure how Ps works anyways haha
I think maybe the 500px moderation staff didn't know what they were looking at. It's become a habit to explain the image was created in one exposure. 500px eventually relented but only because it became a news item on a photography website.
Thanks @lemouth this is so accurate I suspect that people don't believe this was created in camera!
This is why it is nice that you showed the material and the full device with your post. That may help others to understand that there is no trick :)

Has the ban occurred despite the explanation of the painter? Sorry for the newbie question, but I am not aware of how 500px works internally.
PS: I am at the same step for Photoshop: never bought, never installed ;)

Oh I see. It is a bit sad that they didn't want to make the first move. However, better this than thing, isn't it?
Cheers!
