Stacey's comment was
"Well dlblue in looking at your gallery any images I see that you might be talking about clearly show nipples/breast so of course that would be needing the nudity tag? And if it has the nudity tag, then yes it couldn't be showing that on the thumbnail."
Which agrees exactly with my comment to dlblue. dlblue has images in their gallery which show the nipples, these would need to be tagged and can't be shown on thumbnails. Secondskin clothing which doesn't show the nipples don't need to be tagged and can appear on a thumbnail.

I would like an honest answer as to WHY, this is being done?
That has been answered in the Front Page article.

Why can't the verbage of this change just state that the thumbs must be neutral and  and leave it there?
Define "neutral"... Members ask us to be specific with rulings. Terms like "neutral", "non-offensive", or "tasteful" are subjective and mean wildly different things to different folks. Hence, we have produced a short list of guidelines so that everyone will know what is acceptable, and what is not.
