We're not pulling images simply because they include a Naked Aiko.
If said Naked Aiko appears to be Not Adult, we will remove it.
It's not about pornography, it is about an addendum to the TOS that has been in place for well over a year.  It was well-advertised, highly debated, and is currently enforced. 
EVERY figure has the ability to be morphed to appear to be childlike.  That I'm aware of (don't have P6 yet, so I could be wrong, 'nother discussion for 'nother thread). 
As I've stated before in other threads, YOU (the artist in general, not pointed at you, Zone) may not have intended the character to be that youthful looking.  But, when they look young to us, and we, as a team, decide that the character is too young, we'll remove it. 
The Child Image Guidelines have been in place for well OVER a year. 
And, I know, faeries are supposed to look young, and be ancient.  I know this.  I love faeries.  However, the TOS are clear on what is and isn't acceptable.  Why do we have to do this?  Too many people planting wings on very VERY young looking models in extremely provocative poses, and saying "but they're faeries!  they're thousands of millenia old!!!"  Plain old abuse of the system.  There are very well-done pieces of fae art that include childlike fae in nude images.  Unfortunately, due to past abuse, we had to get strict, and say that we can no longer accept images of that kind in the galleries.
All we ask is that, if you want to post images with young-looking faeries, please make sure that they are clothed.  Not hidden behind a bush, not under bubbles, etc.  They need to appear to have clothing on. 

Anyway, I really don't want this to turn into an argumentative thread, please.  Zone, for what it's worth, I really love your art.  I don't usually comment, because I don't get much time to do so anymore, but you're welcome to bring your art back here at any time, so long as it fits within the TOS of our site.
