"yes we are customers, we are not being made a favour by being allowed to post here, it is the other way around" You must live in la-la land. I've seen a fair few similar threads but this these take the biscuit. Dude, try this. Take up a few memberships with some of the major art sites. Try posting some risque stuff and when it's rejected, which it will be, carry on about it like you are doing here. In 12 hours time, when every one of these sites has banned you without bothering to canvas your opinion or spend hours politely justifying their decisions, I reckon you'll have a sunny new appreciation for the way things work around here. But Illusions is right, this thread was - as I understand - in order to make suggestions about the image removal problem. So, here're my suggestions:- Stick a line to the TOS, just after the list of no-nos, stating something along the lines of "In addition, images that are deemed to be generally offensive, excessively adult in nature, or simply not compatible in theme with a public site, as defined by the admins, will, at the complete discretion of the admins, be immediatley removed and a full reason provided to the artist at the point of removal." What I do NOT want to see is the TOS stretching for pages and pages detailing every possibility that might arise. Forget dodgy images, it would make obscene reading in itself. I mean, hell, does the law state that it's an offense to be "lewd in a public place" or does it state "it's an offense in a public place to... get your dick out, jack off into a jar, stick a flag in your ass and do a handstand..." and ten thousand other possibilities? Of course not, because any right-minded person can make an intelligent interpretation of the word "lewd". Please don't get the idea that I'm advocating that nobody should complain about anything, because obviously that's nonsense. I've complained about loads of things and no doubt I'll continue to do so. But I try to keep a sense of perspective and not get an inflated idea of my importance to this whole community. When I'm getting something for free I tend to be a little more generous in my opinions than if I were paying for a service. And I try not to make statements like AgentSmith being in the KGB. I mean, that's crazy... ...his hair's too long ;)
