Panko, I appreciate your point about artistic freedom. My take on it is this... Rosity, whatever its form and function, is like any other privately owned place, be it a gallery, house or whatever, in that they can set the rules. I don't see it as censorship. You may have a constitutional right to freedom of expression (I'm assuming you're in the USA), but you do not have a constitutional right to display your works of art absolutely anywhere. If I was to produce an image which violated the TOS here, I'd post it elsewhere, or if push came to shove, I'd start my own website. That's where your freedom of artistic expression comes in. The question of rules/censorship has cropped up from time to time on other websites (one is a music forum I subscribe to) and the consensus seems to be "House Rules do not equal censorship". To use my house analogy again, if you came to my house and started hanging your pictures on my walls, I'd throw you and them out pretty damn quick. Simply put, nothing, but nothing goes on these walls without my say so. Now, if I liked your pictures and you asked me, I may put them on my walls, but that would not be your right, that would be me doing you a favour.
