Mateo, it's not "eagerness to put children on display as objects to desire". Just read what superdoc said. If I want to create a Michelangelo pastiche or hommage with amori or little cherubs, I cannot put it here. I had a photo of a font, a real honest church font, from the cathedral in my hometown in the gallery. (Removed because the people were not interested in it. :-)) Under the new TOS, the pedestal of the font would be highly objectionable cause the putti (little boys) holding the font bowl up, are naked. That font has been there for the last 500 years and now you're telling me it's objectionable? Come on. Who are you, Voltaire? Kiddie porn? When did Renderosity have kiddie porn? Let's please not bring emotionally charged terms here. OTOH, what I really object are the reasons given why there will be no "child nudity" on Renderosity. Why not simply say, "we are afraid some jerk is going to sue us" and leave it? I can respect that. But this only irritates me. Anyways, yes, I agree that the judgment of the team is going to create conflict. Would be happy if it weren't so.
