Quote - mods will err on the side of caution. it does little good to pound on the mods here, or even on the site owners. are you ready to carry the legal costs for them? i'm not. if i wanted to post nude childlike appearing figures, i'd do so on my own server, so the person responsible for it would be only myself. i recommend that to anyone who feels artistically suppressed here.

Easy to say and a sound business decision but what happens when they start cracking down on individuals as well? Just like the RIAA did going after each and every downloader?  Since art sites have buckled under to this pressure about the hypothetical age of pixels, what else are they going to cave into next?

If an ID card works to show proof of age for models in photos, why can't the same be applied to digital models? If they are going to apply child porn laws to CGI characters why not be consistent and apply the same ID card laws to them as well?

That would certainly solve the problem and avoid the judgement calls necessary for the case by case basis by having a consistent standard and save the mods a lot of work.

If some say that ID cards aren't valid for digital models than the same applies to trying to apply the child porn laws to them also, each makes the same amount of sense since they follow the same logical assumptions.
