"And, as it is often the case for the statements of military juntas, your words are not supported by facts." Wrong. The facts are simple. I'll go slowly. 1. There were complaints about your image. 2. As a result, it was brought, by a moderator, to the moderator team for review. 3. The criterion for review was "is this image suitable for a site which aims to be family friendly?" 4. Each moderator considered the image and placed a vote. 5. The result of the vote was that the image was not suitable. 6. Your image was removed. Would that sound like the actions of a junta to a reasonable person? No, I didn't think so. "This is what we call democracy, partiulcarly in a border line situation like this, for which rules were not adequaltely written up." The TOS is written as it is precisely for borderline images such as the one you posted. If we wrote a hard and fast set of rules, covering every possible juxtaposition of limbs, objects and other body parts we would have no discretion to remove images which don't directly break a precise rule but which nonetheless are over the line for a site which aims to be family friendly. Oh by the way, you want me to repost this in the Photography forum where you posted the entire previous contents of this thread instead of a simple link? Kevin.
