Hi Richabri, I wrote this while you wrote your posting, and it ends in an idea slightly different from yours, so I'll append it here: I must admit that I am concerned by the new TOS of Renderosity. Okay, you may announce that only dog pictures are allowed in the future. We have no right and no device to change that. But you may allow some questions: 1. Sexual acts are not allowed: I made the experience that a kiss can be a very intensive sexual act. Are pictures with kisses forbidden in the future? Or is the clarification of the TOS not really clear? 2. I read that the clarification of the TOS is not a way to protect non-adults. It shall improve the professionality of the pictures. Now I've visited a lot of professional, succesful galleries and even museums which obviously don't have restrictons like the new TOS. Hence I cannot fathom this argument. 3. I think the problem is that the public practice of some sexual acts really isn't forbidden in the western culture and even in western art. Ok... in islamic countries they are forbidden. Maybe you don't want offend islamic visitors? 4. The Renderosity shop sells objects and poses which are not allowed to picture in the community. May I see in this a slight touch of hypocrisy? I am from Germany. Today we have a liberal paradigma of what art can be. But in the previous century we passed a regrettable era in which art was clearly defined and was set apart from "Entarteter Kunst", in english "perverted art". I do not hope that your try of improvement of the community's professionality ends up in a distinction like that. How about a new tag? I think it might be no technical problem to install it besides the 'nudity' and 'violence'. Something like: 'Kinky' or 'Somehow incorrect'? No, this is no joke. Why not?
