Renderosity won't be changing in the galleries or the forums to a more sex filled one. It's pushing that boundary already. A large percentage of the Poser gallery is of nude or scantily-clad women. While I have no problem with that, some of them are in very suggestive poses, with facial expressions that are very um ... "orgasmic." There is no question what they would be involved in if a second person was in the image. This is an art site that claims to be family friendly. Here are some examples of what I think is "family friendly" art. http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=800525 http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=800516 http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=800501 http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=800485 I like tasteful erotic art. I create some of it myself every now and then. But to illustrate the point raised in this thread, here is an image that, while I have no problem with it personally, I would feel very uncomfortable if it was viewed by a young child. Currently, it is viewable with the "Allow Nudity" profile preference set to "No." It is a recent post, so the lack of the flag may not have been "caught" yet: http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=800463 My point is this ... if Renderosity wants to be a "family friendly" site, it should not have to depend on nudity flags to make it so. It should not depend on "Thumbnail Warnings" to make it so. It should simply NOT ALLOW what is not family friendly. Otherwise, it comes across as hypocracy.
