my responce to these whole last 2 threds is this: Rosity is a Business. Weither u buy into that or not... it is. As a business it has a very professonal appearence to upkeep. They try to create rule in while do not bind most artists.. but yet still try to keep peace and professonalism. Like it has been said before in this strand, this is a private site, run by this company. They give us free hard drive space, and 100000000gigs of bandwidth daily. Wether or not Rosity breaks even after the "utilities" are paid or not, is none of our concern. We have all volentaroly signed up for Rosity membership, and we have all checked a statment that states we understand the rules of the land, and will do our best to follow them. Unfortunatly, 90%+ of the members of Rosity are some sort of artists, and artists are pationate people. Hench the huge uprising when a large group of pationate people are startign to bump heads, and turns into a mosh pit. Art is art. Weather a mural on a wall, crayons on paper, or blood on the tip of a pen, art has infinate forms. What sucks about art though is that no matter what piece of art you create you will never please everyone. When it comes to TOS vios, the art that you have created disturbs more people than moves them. Or does not fit into society's lil grove of whats correct or wrong. My suggestion is, if you dont like smell of something, dont stick around it. Thats why most artist have their own website, there all you have to worry about is the host company of your server gettin pissed at you. I run a site called projectbluecell.com I too have had art banned from rosity. and that when i found fellow artist with the same problem. I am still fully active here at rosity, but images that i feel that will get negative attention here... i post there. removes the total possibilty of drama. Sure people might email me abotu how WACKED out a piece is.. but all i do is delete it and move on. Ive told gilo25 hes more than welcome to have a little corner of my site to post his work. Ill be honest.. i only read 45% of last thread and about 15% of this one... then every1 started yelling and what not.. so im nto sure what everone said. my suggestion. Your gettin stuff for free, you agreed to Rosity's terms when you joined... Deal with it, or find yourself a site thats will to host your work. p.s. im not goin into the POSER vs Porno convo... cause i can deal out about 50 urls of pics on rosity that are nothign more than child porn with pointy ears... and wings.. lol... but liek i said.. i wont touch it.

sorry.. but i had to change the title of the subject... i think its kinda disrespectful to spike. sorry bro.

"It is about vague, unclear, and contradictory standards. It is about new standards not listed in the TOS. It is about things not permitted in the galleries that are permitted in the Marketplace. It is about some Mods/Admins with little to no people skills. It is about a lack of understanding and little desire to attempt understanding. It is about how defending a decision becomes more important than understanding the issue. It is about how being right becomes more important that being fair." It's also about what brings in the CASH to Renderosity.

How do we reconcile all this discussion with this? http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=434257&Start=193&Sectionid=8&filter_genre_id=0&WhatsNew=Yes

gilo25, who are you and why are you so boring and rude?

"How do we reconcile all this discussion with this?" Not my type, but I'd probably have a go.

"gilo25, who are you and why are you so boring and rude?" Personal attacks against members is considered Trolling It is not difficult to track the activities of Trolls Trolls are not welcome in the forums, galleries of anywhere else on the site. Trolling is clearly stated as being against the TOS Please make an effort to understand this message 47Tucanae!

Personal attacks against members is considered Trolling ~Duh! It is not difficult to track the activities of Trolls ~ Yes a lot of them are here in this long sorry excuse for a thread! The last thing this thread needs is another hipocritical statement from you brendan! If the cap fits wear it brendan. Have you actually read some of the other posts? Why have you not reminded this fellow gilo of this ruling? How about YOU Please make an effort to understand this message ~ dont make me laugh... and drop the bullshit...

"Why have you not reminded this fellow gilo of this ruling?" Early contributors to the thread have some insight as to the grievances of gilo25, it is clear that the administration and moderators have already covered the question of his transgressions of the TOS. "hipocritical" ? Never use words that you cannot spell! Did I mention that Clone accounts are not difficult to track either?

i cant believe that I've just sat here & read the whole of this thread, but its quite funny in places (although i've aged a few years in the process). Hard to believe all this fuss comes from a woman touching her own tits.

Wow...Is this thread still going??....utterly amazing.

Damn, that's twice I've endured a 60-second load and found no juicy bits at the end. Make that three times, for some... :)))))
