Unfortunately the definition of pornography is so very open ended which is why it is so difficult to regulate and even more difficult categorise. Ultimately, if an image of a naked child, virtual or not causes any arousal or sexual desire, then that image can be classed as pornographic. Since it is impossible to tell what aspects of an image of a naked person cause arousal in any individual, it is equally impossible to make the distinction between what constitutes a pornographic image or not. Normally adjusted people can happily deal with child nudity, for example on a public beach or pool. Unfortunately our society has individuals which don't think that way and seek out these places to fulfill their voyeuristic activities. It is therefore the responsibility of those people that govern or run such places, such as Renderosity, to make them as safe as possible and to minimise the threat of a predatory individuals and not provide a 'honey pot' for the weirdos that seek out such images for personal gratification. Personally I can't think of any reason for posting an image of a naked child. Perhaps you would like to give some realistic examples of when it would be appropriate to post naked young teens and young children Caly, and perhaps some the other readers might like to comment on your suggestions; I know I will be waiting eagerly...
