IF I were the PTB, this is what I would do: I would either a) remove the image as a TOS violation, no matter how well done, beautiful and inspiring I found it OR I would amend the TOS as follows: No depictions of torture, yadda yadda yadda, EXCEPT for depictions of the crucification of Christ and the two thieves as this falls under the category of religious iconography and is intended to be inspiring and uplifting for those who follow this religious belief. This way, you still have the ban on extreme torture images that are better housed at Renderotica and other appropriate sites but religious and faith based images are exempted. Naturally, I have no problem with the image itself, but as the TOS stands I have to agree that it does fall outside the allowed limits. Easter is coming soon and there are sure to be a lot more people making images that express their faith and beliefs about this particular period. I sincerely think that it is time the owners of this site and their administrators take a look at the wording of the TOS and adjust it according to what they actually meant. As it stands, there are items that many (as evidenced in the previous posts in this thread) find harmless, uplifting, inspiring and quite moving that are technically against the TOS. This definitely needs to be fixed, but until it is, I expect the TOS to be administered to all equally without regard to color, creed, sexual orientation or any other factor other than those stated in the TOS itself. Either change the TOS or enforce it equally. One or the other. Rev. D. G. Sexton, Minister aka KateTheShrew
