Thanks Cresent. It could be that the real issue is one of language? I have received the standard email informing me that an image has been removed. Personally I find the wording brusque if not blunt. An idea to chew over is one of formulating standard messages to members, on issues such as deletions and of OTT slinging matches in the forums, in a more expansive (and possibly coaxing) tone? There is, without doubt, some difficulty in discerning the blurred edges of the TOS. Because it is impossible for Renderosity to cover all eventualities in one statement, a more conciliatory message informing the people involved would go a long way to calming the situation when it arises. What it boils down to, in my mind, is the way that the TOS is unavoidably vague in parts but the communication dealing with deletions can be read as very sharp in it's certainty. I, like many here, happen to be a very sensitive bunny when it comes to rejection. Couple with that the difficulty of being consistent about what gets removed and folks are bound to get aggrieved about what can seem unfair treatment. I second the suggestion, posted earlier in this thread, that perhaps it is time to shunt questionable ( if not all nude content ) work into a gallery of its own with the appropriate disclaimers. A facility for artists to submit images that are doubtful, before posting, might help. If there ain't one already?
