This is a great thread. This is one occasion where the rules dont seem to work well, and Im open for ideas. Heres the link to the challenge rules. http://market.renderosity.com/%7Epzr/backroom/html/challengerules.htm When this challenge started up, we discussed the rules in forum. In one corner of the ring was the group that thought a specific rule would mean counting breast polygons in a hyper technical interpretation to see if the image was in or out. In the other corner was the group that thought "taste police" should not be judging images for entry based on the personal taste of the challenge manager. Both views are quite valid. The compromise was a rule defined clearly enough so that folks knew what would work and lose enough so that there was some very limited leeway. The nudity definition bans bare breast below the areola line and allows for deep cleavage (which is in the center of the chest). The amount of deep cleavage allowed is discretionary. It does not allow the lower portion of the breast to be shown on the side or even a halter top with the boobies sticking out on the bottom. The challenge rule also says "This is open to all ages and viewing by family and minors. Keep it clean and keep it classy. If you push the limit and the image draws attention to the limit, you may be asked to make adjustments." Just so you know, I was asked about the image idea before it was posted. I said I'd take a look. I looked at the portrait of breast feeding, the artist's words that she wished she had one of those portraits done, and the theme of family portraits, and initially approved the image knowing that it was a polygon or two over the line. I saw that the nipple and areola were washed out and thought the deep cleavage exception could be used in this one instance. The artist knew it would be controversial and I posted it. However, it was brought to my attention by several that the image did not technically fit the rule so it was pulled in an effort to be even handed with the wording of the rules. No rule is perfect and no person who measures an image based on a rule is perfect. I have always tried to give the benefit of the doubt to the artist. I do not always call it right though. I have asked some to modify who were technically ok with the definition but close enough that it drew attention, and I have posted some that might be technically a polygon or two over the line (but not particularly noticeable). This image simply was caught in the middle of a gray area and that happens on occasion. We can talk another time on whether or not there should be some additional discretion for the challenge managers, or if the rule should remain as it is. Either will draw criticism which I do not mind. It is your challenge and I am simply here to help.
