Gradient,I guess you know now what the problem is. Nudity and rankings and votes. The way I see it concerning my rankings , votes and comments ,it is a way for people to let me know that they enjoyed what I did and not that I'm popular or not. I don't care about popularity,I enjoy making the images and Rosity gave me the opportunity to share it with others and that's what i'm doing. When I rank or vote or comment on someone else hisher image it's because I want them to know I enjoyed the image. I sometimes also use naked women in my images but that's because I think they are beautiful in the same way ,I think fractals,animals or the night is beautiful. I will use anything that I think is needed to make an in my Opinion beautiful image. If that is a problem than rosity is not the problem but whe as humans are becuase everything is based on that. Why do you think a Rembrandt ,Rubens or van Gogh painting cost so much money,because people give it high rankings,comments or votes in their heads but thats all in the amount of money people are willing to pay for it To me It's the same thing but with a different face and that goes for many things we as humans do. I think if you want to rank,comment or vote do so and if you don't want to than don't. If nudity is offensive than filter it and if you think it's not don't. I respect everyone,those who left and those who stayed. Everyone got the right to his her visions and expressions and the right to life according to that vision. For me with or without,votes, rankings and so on I enjoy creating the images and I leave them on if someone wants to let me know heshe enjoyed something I did. If no one does fine I still enjoy what I created. I think that's the most important thing enjoy what your doing and let your imagination run as free as possible. Be a free spirit. These are my thoughts , Longrider4ever.
