I normally wouldn't comment on something like this especially since I didn't see the images in question...but I feel the way the situation was handled is a little childish...I agree with Janine that the matter should have been brought to her...if you have a problem with someone's image the polite and adult way to handle the situation is to IM that person with your problem and if that person is unresponsive or rude then take it to an higher authority...that may not be the way the site mandates but as an adult most situations are best handled one on one...blasting someone in the forums is not the most adult approach...although it can be understandable if you are just asking for a clarification of the rule...a simple, I think this image is against the TOS does anyone else agree and most importantly can mods take a look...in this case it seems that Janine was just unaware of the TOS clause which when you really think about it is overbroad and makes little sense...maybe the TOS are a bit moronic in the sense that it is wrong to cover up nudity but perfectly okay to show nudes...as a big fan of nudity presented in an artistic manner (which is of course subjective) I just find it strange that a show of artistic modesty is penalized but just straight unartistic nudity is not...my understanding of the motive behind that particular clause in the TOS is that you don't want to show anyone masturbating not that you didn't want people to coverup... If I offended anyone I sincerely apologize for the effect of my words but not the content and if you are really sore about it just IM me and we can discuss your feelings...I'm always open to the possibility that I'm wrong and to Janine..I hope this matter is solved in your favor and maybe a change or clarification of the TOS will come out of it...your work is wonderful for an amateur and I hope you keep at it and keep posting...regardless of this...Jenn
