Personally, I have no real problem with 'rosity's TOS. They are, after all, an international site and don't want to offend anyone.

Except, of course, that certain (major) religious sects consider the depiction of the human figure as being an insult to their deity. (Not naming them, 'cos I don't want to get into trouble).

Which means that members of those sects would automatically define 'rosity as a place of sin, and therefore a potential target for attack by the more fundamental members. Yet 'rosity continues to allow this...

Well, they have to don't they? Otherwise they'd go out of business....

Some of the other concerns of the TOS are about nudity. In my home town of Reading, UK,  there are at least two statues of what look like pre-pubescent naked girls on public display. Yet if I were to photograph them and post those photos here, they'd be against the TOS. As would a lot of main-stream masterpiece art showing the infant Jesus (with genitals) or cupids ditto. Or the "fairys/pixies" from the Victorian era.

Oh, well, it takes all sorts.

All of which might explain why I don't post many pictures here (and have no gallery), just stuff that might be useful as tutorials for effects in the mat room/cloth room etc.

'Rosity is, IMHO, a trifle over concerned with political correctness.

But that's the way it goes. Doesn't mean I'll leave. Just means I won't post anything that might possibly be against the TOS...

Cheers,
