basically you are saying that I have to do 2 pictures instead of just 1 straight render. 

dlblue.....I have nudes in the gallery.  Yet, most of my thumbs do not show the nudity (out of long time respect for others just browsing.....NO RULE....courtesy.)  Try cropping around the eyes.  If you can achieve a good facial expression in your render....ie, no vacant stare.....eyes can attract quite well.  It is not creating another render for the thumb...simply cropping it.

I understand that folks are angry.  In a great part, I feel because there ARE those loathsome folks who complain about this, that, and the other in the galleries, and, often keep nagging until they get their way.  I certainly hope those folks are prepared to make some awesome renders to take up the slack of all who may leave over this.  

I like the new rule, since I've been following it for a long time.  I still think a Pinup only gallery....(all software) could have nudes, and would cut down on some of the Posers rendered in other modelling apps, posted to, errrr.....say....the Lightwave gallery, and so annoying to the modellers, etc.  I think this is a really good solution.  You know if you go to the pinup gallery you will be viewing nude thumbs....the other galleries, no.
