Phantast: Nope. I don't care one way or the other whether the pictures are there or not. I used them to illustrate the point. Actually I think most of them were quite good.

I agree that there are a TON of pictures in the gallery and it would be nearly impossible to catch every picture that violates the TOS unless there is someone that does NOTHING but hit refresh on the gallery page and view every image.

That being said, for me there were 41 pages of 18 thumbs when I filtered the gallery for Poser/Romance (I picked romance because it was likely to yield the most pictures that violate the TOS IMO). I found on RANDOM inspection (ie: I was not clicking every thumb on those 3 pages) 6 pictures that appear to violate the TOS based on comments made by moderators on the thread that was locked.

That seems like a high number to me. I wonder how many there would be if I took the time to look at every picture on those 41 pages.

Two of the pictures were of something that was SPECIFICALLY mentioned by a moderator as being a TOS violation (another touching a second's body parts). Despite my mentioning that and providing a link no moderators, who we KNOW are watching these threads made any comment whatsoever. The thread was simply locked for being "Off Topic".

Whether Melory's picture was removed because it was 2 men or not it was removed and there are other pictures in the gallery that are far more sexually suggestive and do violate the TOS (ie: a woman having her hand clearly on another woman's breast and a man licking/kissing a woman's chest). It is a very uneven application.

However, when you add that to the fact that people say and link to rendererotica (incluing a number of times in the archives...I checked) and that is ok, but the mention of GPA causes an uproar. It starts adding up. Again it might be coincidence, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck a lot of people are going to think it's a duck.

I also find the MP issue to be incredibly hypocritical. I thought so before when you can buy bondage and fetish gear and genitals (none of which I have a problem with personally, btw.) which if used for an image posted here would be a violation of the TOS, but when I found an item that specifically says it has no thumbnail because the item in question violates the TOS that put me over the edge. If the item is so "bad" you can't even post a preview of it what are they doing allowing it to be sold in the MP? That is the ultimate in hypocrasy!
