Subject: When did Disney buy Renderosity?
Hello, This violation refers to the portion of the TOS that states "Advertising or linking to any publications and/or web sites that are age restricted due to content, and/or pornographic in nature." This has been in the TOS for a very long time. You agreed to abide by the TOS when registering with Renderosity. Thank you, Stacey Community Manager
Hello Brendan, If you run across any webring links that are linking to an age restricted site, please IM or email Debbie M. Webring links are put into pending so they can be reviewed before approving and I am certainly not aware of any that are linking to age restricted sites so please let us know which one(s) you are referring to. Thanks Stacey Community Manager
Renderosity does not show nudity for visitors coming in to the site My erotica site doesn't show nudity to visitors. You have to register to see the gallery. Can I link to it from here? (I was told I couldn't, so I haven't, but now I'm wondering just what the actual rules are.) bonni

Bonni, No, you cannot link to an Erotica site as that is different than artistic nudity. As far as the webring links, I am looking in to this as it appears some links where changed after approval. It is hard for us to control links that were changed after the webring was approved. We are going to look in to a better way to handle this. Thanks Stacey Community Manager
It is hard for us to control links that were changed after the webring was approved. We are going to look in to a better way to handle this. Many webring systems allow you to be notified if a URL, title, or other specified factor changes. Perhaps that's something to consider. bonni

Thank you for your reply Stacey. I am a little bit mystified by the seeming reduction of criteria as to what is unacceptable, according to the TOS, regarding this particular subject. "If you run across any webring links that are linking to an age restricted site, please IM or email Debbie M. Webring links are put into pending so they can be reviewed before approving and I am certainly not aware of any that are linking to age restricted sites so please let us know which one(s) you are referring to." Has the TOS been suddenly revised? what happened to the "and/or pornographic in nature." part? ----- Minka Moons!...Jenny Juggs!!....Missy Mounds!!!.....Tammy Titans!!!! I could get into this Poser merchandising milarky, Danny Donkey!...Sammy Stonker!!....Benny Bonkstick!!!.....Larry Lovemuscle!!!!...the possibilities for exciting stiff stimulus in the creation of a fecundity of artistic and desirable marketplace products are endless.

There. Now try and get that out of your head.
Let that be a lesson to you. It's your punishment for dredging this subject up yet again.

Erotica, from the Greek eros, "love", are works of art, including literature, photography, sculpture and painting, that deal substantively with erotically stimulating or arousing descriptions. Erotica is rather a modern word used to describe the portrayal of human sensuality and sexuality with high-art aspirations, differentiating such work from commercial pornography. Ipso facto, renderosity IS an erotica site. Even the TOS admits it: '... no extreme or explicit S&M bondage situations/ no lewd or obscene sexual references] '. So as long as its not 'extreme' or 'explicit' its ok. Jack
"that decision is subjective???" Worse than that usually: arbitrary. Why bother having a clear policy when it's more fun to make it up as you go along? That way, decisions depend on what mood you're in. If it's a Monday morning and you're in a crappy mood, the TOS can mean whatever you want it to mean, and people you don't like can suddenly find themselves outside the rules. I also wonder whether it would be a different decision depending on the nude being male or female. My bet is that something relatively tame (say, along the lines of Mapplethorpe's 'Man in a Nylon Suit') would be gotten rid of, whilst the blood-spattered uber-titty brigade march on to conquer the galleries unhindered. It's a thought, isn't it?
Cambert, None of our decisions are based on personal feelings. As we have explained repeatedly, decisions on violations are not made by any one staff member but as a team decision. So the Monday morning crappy mood scenario doesn't fit in to our decisions. We have answered the original questions regarding this topic so before this gets out of hand, it may be time to move on. Thanks, Stacey Community Manager
For the record: Erotica, from the Greek eros, "love", The Greeks had at least three words we translate as "love." The word "eros" specifically referred to a sexual "love." I suspect it would be better translated as "lust" in the context of our society, even though "love" is used. Somehow saying I "eros" Starbucks Frappaccino's just feels wrong. But I do love them!
Before they made me they broke the mold!

Hi Stacey, Thanks for your response. My 'Monday morning' scenario was probably a bit unfair - end of the day grouchiness, I'm afraid. Nevertheless, in the four-ish years I've been here, I've seen a lot of very arbitrary decisions alongside many more principled ones. Come to think of it, the arbitrary ones didn't tend to be about whether any given picture was within the TOS; usually they were more important than that. Sorry if I've been unfair - I know the mods work hard to be fair over TOS issues. Just as an intellectual exercise though, would Mapplethorpe's 'Man in a Nylon Suit' be within the TOS (assuming he'd submitted it himself, of course)? cam
"As we have explained repeatedly, decisions on violations are not made by any one staff member but as a team decision. So the Monday morning crappy mood scenario doesn't fit in to our decisions." I'm sorry.. I hadda comment.. the team ain't human??? - studies have shown Monday Morning Crappy Syndrome affects 99% of the Human Race and the effects last till Tuesday AM (12.01Am New Zealand Time) ;)
Aye, forget Greenwich, let's go to New Zealand time! =) I don't think that Monday Morning would affect everyone in exactly the same way at exactly the same time, and having no one principled enough to postpone his/her vote until he/she could make an objective decision (assuming they are allowed to postpone, of course). Even if they are not allowed to postpone, nevertheless I think that they are in general principled enough to make an objective decision in spite of a bad mood. It's just being mature enough to not take out your frustrations on your website. Just my $.02

I have had an image removed from the 2D Gallery today - it can be seen at http://www.byrontaylor.com/afinity.html - and asked to remove links to a photographer's site that has an age-restricted area. All that is in this area of his site are his nudes. Just like the age-restricted area of my site, where mo Poser images are, or similar areas on the sites of several photographers who regularly contribute to Renderosity. One of them has already pulled all of his work. Is this the wave of Renderosity - to turn PG? One of the main applications that made Rendero is Poser, whose main function is to render the human body. Are all Poser figures going to have to be clothed next? This is not why I have a membership here - I came here to experiment with images of the human body without being censored because I showed pictured of "nekkid women!" Is anyone else having problems with this? Bueller?
