Nudity = wearing no clothing. If the female breasts are fully exposed, or the genetalia for males and/or females are fully visible, then it is also considered nudity for purposes of flagging the picture. This allows other forum users to make an informed decision about whether to check the forum post, whether due to personal preference or logistical difficulties. This has nothing to do with restricting artistic expression. This has to do with courtesy and respecting the fact that a person may not wish to view an artistic nude, or at least not at that time. compiler - that figure is wearing clothing. The nudity tag is not necessary. The analogy about "would it get you arrested if a cop saw you like that" is a rough analogy because people started making extreme examples, likening the guidelines to the Taliban's insistance on women wearing the burka. While people here are from all over the world, for the most part the laws are relatively similar in regards to public nudity/indecency. Summary: *Nudity = no clothing. It's not just a Renderosity guideline, it's the definition of the word. *Hands in strategic places do not count as clothing. They are body parts. *If the nipples of females are exposed, or the genitalia of either gender is exposed, then it counts as nudity for purposes of flagging the picture. *If you can't tell that the person isn't wearing clothing - a facial shot, for example - then you don't have to flag the picture. *If you can't tell the person has clothing on - a completely transparent body suit, for example - then please flag it.
