Kevin, I am afraid you are talking like a spokesman of a military junta here: 'And your image was so deemed by the moderator team. We each looked at it and came to a decision. The image is unsuitable for this site.' Sounds like when they arrested Aung Sang Sukyi for her own good... mmhhh.. And, as it is often the case for the statements of military juntas, your words are not supported by facts. The facts are the following : my photo and the TOS. Based on the TOS, my photo should not have been removed, as simple as that. In fact the TOS says No Rape. No Torture. No Sexual acts. No Physical arousal. No Genital contact with ANY object, other than sitting or clothing. And none of these appear in my photo. The TOS don't talk about areolas, nipples, fingers and things like that. It talks about sexual arousal, and nobody in good faith can say that there is sexual arousal in my photo. There may be sexual arousal in your minds, but not in my photo. It is also true that 'Additionally, any post or image can be removed at the discretion of staff if it is deemed unsuitable for this community.**' But since there is NOTHING in the pic that would justify its removal when judged against the TOS, I am afraid that, as Illusions is saying (thank you Illusions), you should have had the decency of explaining better why in your opinion the image was not suitable AND you should have let me post it here in the Forum to allow people to dicuss it. Finally, as Illusions is again mentioning, it is advisable that you come up with TOS that can be more specific and address situations with greater objectivity. Removing images at your own discretion, with no support from the written rules, let alone from the viewers is rather irritating and abusive. Of course, it is again at your discretion, but if you are really interested in the well being of the community you should come up asap with detailed rules and as far as this image is concerned you should post it in an appropriate section and let people vote whether they feel it is suitable or not for the community. If the community votes in favour of his deletion I will shut up forever. But if it says it should be posted you should let it stay. This is what we call democracy, partiulcarly in a border line situation like this, for which rules were not adequaltely written up.
