JenX, I think what people are ranting and raving about concerning this issue is that it highlights just how pathetic Rendo's TOS enforcement has become. If any common sense is required it is from Renderosity/Bondware themselves.

I couldn't care for zeppelin-breasted, huge nippled, horribly lit thumbnails or art...but I do care about art and what it stands for. Art is a freedom of expression.

Now Rendo, may have the right to make rules as they wish (and I respect them for that), but they should remember a couple of things:

1. It is the members that pay for the upkeep of this place through the market place.

2. From Renderosity's mission statement: "MISSION STATEMENT
   The mission of Renderosity is to create a thriving, productive environment that encourages an atmosphere of community, respect, collaboration, and growth for graphic artists, digital artists, animators, photographers and writers of all backgrounds and levels. We are a community created by artists, for artists ... *Because The Art Matters!"

"Because The Art Matters!" -* if you enforce censorship, then I will argue that art isn't the thing that matters.
"growth for graphic artists" - growth isn't encouraged by censorship!

The TOS doesn't actually bother me, but I will stand for an artists right. Besides, Rendo's TOS is full of double standards - they won't allow copyright infringement (and rightly so), but do allow copyrighted characters from all media's (be it TV, film etc) to be used as avatars.
