We were discussing applying the TOS. The image I've linked to is a good example.. (no offense to the author).. Would you consider this a TOS issue? I think it could be taken either way... pretend your a Mod or a Coord for a minute. Read the TOS, and try to apply it to this image. One could say it fell into this category "No manipulation of breasts/nipples/ no sexual situations" Is it really manipulation? is the nipple actually being touched? or would you prefer the "no sexual situations" ? That's a pretty broad area. Bear with me a minute on this one, Unless you make a TOS that doesn't allow ANY Nudity, or anything even remotely sexual...You will have gray areas.. If the TOS were more explict in it's descriptions,more black and white lets say, Then you will always have someone trying to see how far they can push it. One example is the " no implied sexual acts" It used to read no sexual acts, period. Some then some started posting images where it was obvious, that it was a sexual act,but they his the penetration with shadows or a piece of cloth or something.. Thus the implied clause.. On things being applied fairly.. I said it previously, yes, by all means.It should be done fairly. Images will however, fall thru the cracks.. unless there was a small army of Coords and mods here 24/7, it's going to happen.. There will always be images that some feel should be removed, while others don't. I'll be curious to hear different opinions on the link I provided. Bruce
