If said Naked Aiko appears to be Not Adult, we will remove it.

I thought that Renderosity ruled that Aiko was not considered "child". 

The3dZone said that most of their images are done using Aiko in her default state, which means "out of the box", as they said they had used in the offending image which was deemed "child" and removed from the gallery.

So is using Aiko in her default state now against the TOS of this site?

Ok, you're putting words where they weren't said.  Nowhere did I say using Aiko in nudes was in violation of the TOS.  I said every character, to my knowledge, can be morphed to appear underaged.  Unfortunately, a character that looks fine at one camera angle can look completely different and way too close (and sometimes over) the line as far as the TOS goes.  That is why it's so tough to gauge age in 3d images; we can't just ask the artist for a model release, like we can with photography.  There is no model release.  All 3d models are just virtual models.  However, when the images take on a likeness of an underaged person, regardless of the base model used, we have to use our discretion as a team to discern whether the image is in violation of our TOS. 
But, if you have an image that you have rendered that you think may be close to the border, feel free to email any of us on staff.  It's always StaffUserName@Renderosity.com.  Mine is MorriganShadow@Renderosity.com.  I'm usually available to review images, and I usually ask a staff opinion (again, unless it's either a blatant TOS violation, or if it's not even an issue). 

Also, to state where that may have been heard.....Those rules were put in place for Marketplace renders, not our gallery.  The Marketplace is a trifle stricter than the galleries, for good reason.  Most of our members use Paypal to purchase, and many merchants receive their payments that way.  If paypal pulled support from this site, thousands of people would lose the ability to purchase goods, and many merchants would lose the ability to receive payments.  So, they got really strict on the young-looking characters.  And, after much debate on the Store Admin side (the regular site staff really have no input on what Store Staff does), they did loosen the reigns a bit, but they are still sticklers for the rules.
