though not being here all that long, after reading/following this for the last couple of days it is apparent that this subject is a loooong running difference of opinion.

so renderosity's rules say "no nude kids", get over it. unless, that is all that you create (nudie kids) then you should be able to work around it. besides, they (renderosity) do have other peps that they have to cater to as well (paypal). would you rather have renderosity say, "to hell with the rules print anything you want!" and have sponsers and/or cooperating identities pull their support? you would lose a lot more than a couple of nudie pics if that happened. as much as we have to straddle a line so does renderosity...you are just seeing your own viewpoint.

as to saying that, "the moderator should stay out of the thread and let us discuss this"...i have a feeling that "if" the moderators "did not" chime in on this thread then there would be something along the lines of, "how come nobody from renderosity is saying anything about this!" ahh, the old damed if you do, damed if you don't scenario.

though the arts have generally been a liberal society artisit's still have to conform to the wishes/wants of the peps hiring them and/or purchasing their products. if you want no controls over you whatsoever, that's the beauty of the web...there are lot's of other places that will.

however, it does appear that renderosity has to make a final determination on the aiko character and weather or not the "out of the box" is acceptable or not. again, this will be a judgement call on their part since there is no way for them to determine weather or not the pic they are looking at is "out of the box". but, a yea or nay should be stated for finality.

art is a very personal thing and when others say something, govern and/or control our art it can become personal, hence; this thread.

Comitted to excellence through art.
