There has been a "slight" change in the wording of the TOS. no implied sexual situations now reads no implied sexual acts This should make that particular clause a little more clear to the Mods and Coords and Members.. As to the image that was removed... Yes, I voted to remove it... I'm not a Poser mod.. But the Coords brought it up, I viewed the image and voted for it's removal. Why, because the one hand appeared to me, to be touching his own genitals. There was no other reason in my mind. I exchanged IM's with the member who posted the image. It was a VERY WELL DONE IMAGE.. During our exchange, I took a third look at the image. Judging by the Pose of the hand, It wasn't her intent to show it touching. It was still a judgment call.. There wasn't any Homophobic judgment involved. To address a few more points, Bondage images are not against the TOS, just read it.. What it does say is "no extreme or explicit S&M bondage situations" So that does leave some room for posting bondage images. There will always be gray areas.. As to the image Dark Elegance mentioned.. I also don't see it as a TOS issue... I agree with the point that the TOS should be applied evenly and fairly.. One thing to keep in mind, Right now, there is no Moderator in this area. Spike is helping out. Kbennet is on an extended leave. The Coords are still learning their job. They are very new at this. If you see an image that you feel violates the TOS, why not just tell someone? Poser is an extreemly busy gallery and forum, it would take a small army to patrol it 24/7.We all have "rael" lives outside of Renderosity, I know I do. The other Mods have been trying to help out as best we can.. I just got Poser, so I don't have a clue about most of it.. Unfortunatly for me, this takes me away from my own areas. Why not cut these folks a little slack and try to help them out.. As far as market place and Copyright issues... I don't have a clue, so I won't go there... Well, I said what I needed to.. I'm might actually try to spend some time in my areas tonight. :-) Bruce "pushinfaders" Renderosity Mojoworld/Terragen Moderator
