veering OT a bit..
@miranda.. i never did understand the removal of that one
because rose petals are acceptable.. last i saw
so like you said, what's the dif tween rose petals & M&Ms & for that matter, an egg
ah well.. no longer my place to question why

the TOS is in place to prevent more "extreme" images from being posted
& shouldn't be taken so literally..
it's up to the staff to use their best judgment on those that fall between the lines..
(whether vertically or horizontally.. LOL)
& really, any image can be removed no matter what,
using the catch phrase "deemed unsuitable for this community"

as far as using "blots or censors" on children, that one is clearly spelled out
in the child image guidelines & there are very few exceptions
because there will always be a few who will use them inappropriately,
ruining it for others & so the broad ruling
but i won't get much into that again ..
since  it also censors cherubs portrayed in Fine Art  & that irritates me

the human body is Fine Art.. been portrayed as such for centuries
& there's an obvious difference tween Fine Art & porn

no debate there.. & to each his own..
