Hokksdottir, to repeat Heart'songs point as I under stood it before her threads were censored, it wasn't aboout OBEYING the rules, it was about the rules being understood by the VERY PEOPLE WHO WROTE THEM and enforcing them AS THEY WERE WRITTEN!!!!! The tos bans any genitalia on a child, understandably. I have NEVER, EVER, NOT ONE TIME seen ANY genitals on any of Heart'song's pictures of child elves. NOT ONE TIME!!! Do the moderators mean "pelvic area"? If they did, they should say "pelvic area"! To arbitrarily go back two years and start removing pictures that were previously ok is the equivalent of the FCC going bact to three year old radio shows and fining the staions for the shows that were perfectly fine for the previous three years!! IT seems the least we as a society should expect from those who write rules is that they understand what they themselves are writing! How difficult should that be?! If you can't figure out what you mean when you're writing a rule how should anyone else figure out what the hell you're talking about??? I know some wag will see this and lament "why is a newbie commenting on OUR business", so let's be very clear about this. Is there a rule that states I have to have been here for a certain time before I can comment? How long? One week? A month? A year? Does it matter if I've been involved in art and graphics since I was a child (in my fifties now) or that I've been viewing these galleries for about three years now or that I've been concerned with the censoreship tone the entire nation seems to be gripped in lately. I admit that as a mere STORE and not an art gallery Renderosity has the absolute right to post whatever rules it wants to, but YOU SHOULD BE CLEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE STATING, not write one thing and then tell the artists "yeah, but we meant this". Specially when bandying about terms like "child porn". And I agree one hundred percent with Thorne, it's about the equitable application of the rules. Also, Heart'song did NOT remove her galleries. They were removed by the moderators. Just to get that clear.
