Way over the top. Way, way over the top. As Ang said, no cherubs. Then, there will be no flatchested, Modigliani-like-elongated fairies in semi-transparent clothes. Hmmm, that might not be a bad thing. :-) But this is the tops: "characters under the age of 18" How do you determine that a model looks over 18? I know 25-year-old women who look like they are 15. I've seen 16-year-old girls who look like they are 25. The size of the bust is not a measure. The "Renderosity team discretion" is not a factual thing, so expect a lot of conflict. Ang put her finger right on it - to avoid lawsuits. Unfortunately, Renderosity is located in the litigation-happy USofA and has to protect itself. (And yes, USA are litigastion happy and no amount of protesting will change the fact.) What I wish is they dropped everything from the reasons and just left "the legal liability surrounding child nudity and pornography". Community feedback never meant anything when they wanted something opposite. So cut the crap, be honest and say, "we are afraid some idiot will sue us." I can respect that. But when you want to appear something else, it irritates me. OTOH, what pornography? I'm not aware of Renderosity being a porno site or hosting porno images.
