Three weeks of listening to someone bitch about their art being removed promted the admins to change the TOS.
Well, yes. And they did it in a way pretty much designed to make sure we knew THEY were in charge, not us nasty little community peons with all our "opinions" and "problems" and "viewpoints".
And to be perfectly honest, IF they had written this exact TOS without the "and no bare-chested boys or babies" nonsense, I would have thought it was perfectly reasonable.
As it is, I do NOT think it's reasonable to ban boys from playing on the beach or in a swimming hole, or babies from toddling around in their diapers. Yes, I think the TOS changes, as worded, are knee-jerk and designed to yank on the reins to remind us that we and our opinions don't really matter, and that if we voice them too loudly and too frequently, we'll be sorry.
