Cherubs have very often been depicted as nude chubby little boys with wings. Many a religous scene contains such cherubs. I can't for the life of me find anything immoral in such an image. I have never seen a dressed Cupid anywhere. Why should Hellenistic mythical scenes involving Cupid be banned? I can imagine 'rosity will not allow Hermes images - according to Greek mythology one of his attributes was a permanent erection. But a harmless Cupid? Fairies, dryads, nymphs and the like are supposed to be creatures of nature. The only species that has managed to loosen the ties to nature is homo sapiens. It is also the only species that is wearing clothes. I won't say that wearing clothes is unnatural - I'm not a hardcore nudist LOL - but I can't see why a spirit of nature would ever bother itself with the concept of clothing. A father or mother bathing a toddler. Just a sweet family picture. Again, I can't see anything immoral here. All this would be prohibited by the new TOS. But what do these new TOS accomplish? Do they prevent "stroke material" for paedophiles to be posted? Not at all, see spinner's article. In short, these new TOS do not accomplish anything constructive at all. But they do limit the creativity of a lot of very fine artists. I second Armorbeast. The responsibility should lie with the artists themselves. Only a few of them don't handle this responsibility in a mature way. Those few can get their butts kicked into low orbit for my part. Establishing a draconic over the top rule to get a sort of "legal handle" is unnecessary and counterproductive. After all, the TOS already have a catch-all clause. Using that catch-all clause wisely is a responsibility of the moderators. We will have to trust them to act responsibly. I can even read these new TOS as a sign of distrust towards the mods - aren't they capable of distinguishing between innocent images and unsavory material? In my opinion the 'rosity team is very well capable to do the right thing without having every little thing outlined by the rules. Steven.
