Ok, here I go again.

The MarketPlace has stricter guidelines for images than does the gallery.  While it is all one site, the staff is different.  Just like at any other store.  Even Brick 'n Mortar stores.  Again, if you see products where the images included would not, in your opinion, pass mustard in the galleries, you may want to contact the store staff. 
Each Gallery/Forum is moderated by a different set of staff, as well.  I don't always know what's going on in the Lightwave Gallery/Forum, and I don't know what's going on in the Market Place. 

However, and I'm going to repeat this AGAIN.....If we don't know wtf you're talking about, or what product, what image, etc., we can't do jack about it.  It will stay there, and the only thing you'll have accomplished is looking a little more and more like all you want to do is argue. 

So, we can solve the problem, or we can sit here for the next week or so and argue the SAME DAMN POINT over and over, and get nowhere.  Apparently, I have nothing better to do. 

As for Aiko.....no one is saying that she is, out of the box, underaged.  HOWEVER, as with ANY OTHER FIGURE OUT THERE, she can be morphed to look quite young.  Just like V3.  And SP3.  And Posette.  And Dina.  etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

ALSO, one last point.  It drives me nuts when people say that we remove for "child porn" policies.  In effect, our "child porn" policy is zero tolerance....but that's not what we're talking about.  We have CHILD IMAGE GUIDELINES.  We realize that stating that something is "child porn" can be hurtful, so we refrain from doing so, especially because, 9 times out of 10, the image in violation is nothing of the sort.  It is just that the image happens to depict a humanoid character that appears to be under the human age of 18 and is without clothes and/or in a provocative pose/clothing.  We have had to remove quite a lot of very well done art from the galleries simply because of the violation of the TOS.  That happens, sometimes.  This is a private site, with rules clearly laid out.  And, as I've stated before, if you have any problems or questions, do not hesitate to contact any of us on staff.  That's what we're here for!  I didn't volunteer for this job because I wanted to lord power over people!  To the contrary!  I volunteered because I wanted to help people!  And, I, for one, would rather be learning more about the programs I use, so I can eventually help people more, than sitting in here, arguing about this for days on end!
