Mmm... End result, if you have something darker that you want to post, you can post it in the galleries no problem. People won't get after you, and if they do, they're just being immature and hurting themselves. Something VERY dark (like a pic featuring child molestation or rape or BDSM or some such) shouldn't be featured at all, anywhere, in my opinion. Yes, you are expressing yourself, but is that the sort of thing you really want to express? You are imagining hurting someone, terribly and for the rest of their lives, damaging them emotionally. If by dark you mean gothic, satanic, stuff like that (I'm imagining, say, a little girl sitting in the middle of a pentagram with candles at the points and blood dripping down her chin, or some such), I don't THINK there would be a problem posting something like that in the galleries so long as you check the "violence" box and/or "nudity" (if applicable). Something to think about.
