While this likely won't affect me seeing as I never have and currently have no plans to in the future do any images with nudity of a child/faerie/whatever, I do think this is a bit of overkill. Surely there ought to be some way of regulating this without such stringent guidelines. The bearskin rug suggested above would be only one example. How the backside of a child on a bareskin rug could possibly be deemed offensive is beyond me. Or what about a boy running around in diapers? He'd have a bare chest, but would be deleted or forbidden under these rules. Or even a fun little bathtime scene with a kid in the tub playing with toys (strategically placed of course so that no genitals showed in the first place). Perhaps the rules needed some slight tweaking. Overkill they certainly did not need. And I find it difficult to believe that such images could ever be construed as child pornography or have any sort of legal liability. Sounds more like somebody wants to take the easy way out instead of make critical decisions on a case by case basis. Blanket rules such as this are never the way to go IMO.
