I wasn't going to get into this for obvious reasons, but here goes, what one person finds offensive, many will not, by who's standards do you measure what is offensive and what is not. The TOS as it stands now is so vague that ANY IMAGE whatsoever that anyone finds even remotely offensive or for whatever reason doesn't like, can have it removed. We have flags on the images for content, it is not up to this site to police what is being viewed and what is not. IT IS UP TO THE VIEWER to police their own viewing! Renderosity is supposed to be first and formost an ARTIST community....do artist's find these images offensive? no, they're the ones doing them. AND if such images are banned from the galleries, then the products in the marketplace that are also offensive should be banned as well, that's logical right? This subject just tweaks the hell out of me, I get tired of other people telling me 'this is offensive' and 'that is offensive' and 'I don't want my kids to see stuff like this', well, if you don't like it, DON'T LOOK AT IT, BE a parent and CENSOR what YOUR KIDS LOOK AT! Quit whinning and do your job as a parent and stop making everyone else responsible for what YOU do not like...if you don't like nudity, DON'T CLICK THE LINK, don't like 'sexual' or 'implied sexual' content DON'T CLICK THE LINK....grow up, be an adult, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS! I could on about how unfair, biased, and bigoted this type of thinking is but I'm sure all the artists here are familiar with it. The premise of making this a more 'professional' site is bogus in the extreme. I read these posts and it makes me sad, that a radical puritian minority can so dessimate an artist site by accussations of 'porn'. Michealanglo is turning in his grave....
