Yes you are repeating it again and again , but you don't address what I am saying. You just repeat that you decided it is unfit. But you are not capable of saying why and based on what rule. And the profit capability has to do with it, a lot. I agree that it will be unlikely that everybody stops posts here. However you will agree that this site makes profit because there are artists posting here. The site would not sell anything if people were not posting here. There are dozen of sites where one can post. And not all charge for it: believe me, you have a lot of competition, while artists have a wide variety of options in terms of where to post for free. Theoretically, there should be an interest from the management in keeping the community of artists happy, in order to encourage more and more people to post. The larger the better. I think artists are making a favour to the site in posting here, rather than viceversa. If artists stop posting the site dies. Oh yes, it's unlikely, but it does happen every day. My images are among the most viewed in the photography section (maybe because after all people like to be titillated? maybe). Still, nothing will happen if I stop posting, I know it very well. But since this is a very disputable, border line situation, since there is nothing offensive in my image, since there are a lot of inconsitencies in your way of applying rules (why the Chair of Juda yes - I would really like someone to try and justify it as opposed to my pic - all my other photos yes, hundreds of other sexually oriented photos/images yes, and this photo no?) why not take care of this idiot who after all has chosen Renderosity among at least a dozen possibilities to post his well viewed images by writing a more decent message instead of that dry and autocratic 'it has been decided', 'we deem it not suitable', 'pls bear it in mind when you post again..' What do I bear in mind? That you are inconsistent? What rule am I supposed to bear in mind? If you look at photosig where I post most of my work (yes I was posting also in R'otica, and some images are still there but I got fed up by the recent vulgarity of the site ) you will see that I have images there which I did not post here because I am following the TOS of R'osity. And I did it also this time. You didn't like the the pic, fine, but don't tell me 'bear it in mind', 'we deem it not fit' etc etc because it is irritating. You are just exercising your power, fine. But don't tell me you are applying rules here. You are just taking arbitrary and far from objective decisions. It is your prerogative, ok. But expect people to get irritated by this. There is no guidance one can base his judgememnt upon whern chosing what to post, because the TOS is too vague and you don't follow it. In this context, a bit of PR from your side could have spared us all this useless debate.
