There are two items in the Child Image guidelines that make sense: "No depictions of young humanoid characters/children giving the appearance of being under the age of 18 displayed in erotic, seductive, provocative poses or context." "Since age is difficult to identify with 3D images, this will be at the discretion of the Renderosity team." These two bullets should be sufficient to protect 'rosity from legal issues. Maybe add a note that it is better to err on the safe side: when in doubt, the post will be considered to be a violation of the TOS. What I like about the first item is that it does not mention nudity. A very important point. Example: a young teenager, provocatively dressed (but no genitals or nipples showing) and posed, that is forbidden. As it should be. By this same rule, a nude cherub or Cupid would be just fine. As it should be. And there is one item that seems to be specifically designed to prohibit criticism of the new TOS: "No use of: transparent clothes, blurring of nude areas, or the use of blots or Censored wording or props to cover areas that are otherwise not clothed." Hmm. Not very consistent with the American ideals of democracy and freedom.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
