Some other suggestions: Since this is primarily a "graphic arts" community, and not a "photographer's community", remove the Photograhy Gallery. That way, any argument over inappropriate images can be reduced to a "but it's only a mesh made up of 1's ans 0's". The bottom line has been stated above (and in numerous other threads): "Any image can be removed at the sole disretion of the admins." If you post a "G" rated image, you have nothing to worry about. If you post a "risque" image, you run the risk of having your image removed. I don't think it gets any simpler than that. If you want to make images that are "on the egde", then you have to be willing to accept the fact that it may be removed. And I don't get the idea of this site trying to be "family oriented". On the one side, mods will remove images that are deemed too "risque" from galleries that are only accessible to members. Yet, on the top of every page are banner ads... some of which are very racy (non-nude, but images of lingerie, seductive poses and textures and so on). Yes, it's "art" and yes the items are for computer characters, but I know I wouldn't want my kids to see banners like that.
