whilst i abhore any kind of child porno i find nothing wrong with what 3dzone did. i always thought chid porn showed intent. to say a faery is child porn seems odd to me. to stop a picture purely on the basis of nudity also seems odd. but rules are rules. what i find amuzing is that people who ranted about censorship accept it here yet cry wolf when a law is passed. 3d didn't accept the censorship rules here re galleries and took his work else where. upto now he's the only one i've seen do it....i have to say though that if a rule is so ambiguous as to make the mods say...send us a pic and we'll vet it before you post it in a gallery then it needs defining......if it can't be defined then it's be a silly rule....that one mod interpretation can be different from anothers also makes it a silly rule.......in fact when that happens it stops being a rule and becomes a personal preference. whilst i hope all in here would be disgusted if children were dipicted as sex objects i'm pretty certain that a cherub, toon or faery wouldn't to any sane adult be cause for alarm.....in fact i would think that such images would be viewed in an opposite way.......art is art is art and though certain boundries have to be drawn for the sake of decency and as someone stated paypal and the buck......i doubt any credit card company or payment system would pull out because of an image of a faery or two.

i've also seen it said that these are the rules so live with it....well yes they are the rules but that doesn't mean the community can't try and change them through discussions like this. in fact if a communities membership feels a certain rule is silly or wrong this is in fact the only logical way of trying to change it. if it get that a rule becomes so strict as to hinder a large percentage of what people do rendo will find themselves losing not only members but cash. if that happens , what paypal think won't be a problem....to casually sweep what members think aside in an autocratic way will only cause rendo harm in the long run.......to lock down discussions is something i see here as well. things like...this is going off topic or this is getting political so i'm closing the thread down.......now that is real censorship yet no one says anything about it. jmo of course
