has anyone qctually seen the image? i see people for and against and i'm wondering if sides are being taken blindly. were mods heavy handed or not...again, unlees we've seen the image this is just speculation either way. if something fails the tos, it fails the tos. how the tos is interprited will always be a bone of contention. make aiko a child figure and people will say it's not fair. as has been said it is really the image and not the model that should be judged. i suspect even mil girl with the right morphs can be made to look over 18. i've seen it said that if the admin say aiko is a child figure it would make it clearer and people won't use her for nude images. if thats truly the case just don't use her for nude images. why wait till you get a yay or nay. i've always advocated that the under 18 rule should be more clear with some kind of seeable guidelines. i suspect that most of the members don't care one way or another. most nudes are out and out adults. i admit a lot may be borderline but on the whole most are def adult. is it a bif thing to have an image pulled. i guess it must be. will it do any good to complain about it. maybe it will but i think we should only complain if weve been down all other avenues. unless it ws an out and out violation and the image was blatently under age i'd have thought some kind of reasonable dialog and a an offer to take more care would go some way to have the warning removed. as it is i can't see that happening now. after all the mods are only human and once we slate them they'll be less inclined to be forgiving. sometimes i look at these threads and think another route could have been taken. admittely sometimes i think the mods were wrong and shout voiciferously about it. i can't do either in this thread cos as i say i have'nt seen the image. i do know for a fact they won't get it right every time. to expect them to would be niave. whist some may leave the site over issues like this i doubt it will make a big difference to the membership. like any big site membership is a dynamic entity. it will always change. it's always sad when people leave through frustration but thats the norm for any site like this. i also suspect many people are tired of threads like this so we get the same old people posting, the ones that cry fould and the ones that cry broken record.

if i had a suggestion to make concerning nudes under 18 it would be this. let admin pick a group of people, say ten from mp ten from the poser foum and a some from other forums. (no mods)start a closed forum where only these people can have a say and let any image that needs judgement be place there so that its their peers that say yes or no. this way it takes pressure of the mods and places the onus on those who posts images to decide. i'd also advocate no warnings for a first offense  re this thread. thsi way an image would initially be removed for adjudication. jmo
