This is not the first thread over an Aiko pulling of an Aiko that the artist -claimed- was in a default morph.

I'm not going to argue the point much further than this.  The simple fact is that, we do, at great length discuss many images that are removed (other than, as I've said, I think 3 times so far in this thread, maybe 2, blatant TOS violations of any sort) before we remove them and send a warning.
And, you know, I know that there are discussions going on elsewhere regarding this (and other) issues going on at Renderosity.  I know that every single decision that we make as staff are going to be argued against by at least one member, because there's no such thing as pleasing everyone.  Some people are happy about some decisions, some people not so much.  That's not going to make us change the rules, and, if a model in an image has the appearance of being a person that is Not Adult, and they appear in any way nude (according to gender, of course...girls need shirts on, boys can wear swim trunks without shirts, babies can be in diapers only) we will remove them and the artist will receive a warning.  That is not going to change, at least not any time soon.  And, unfortunately, we staff members have to decide whether or not a model appears underage.
