**I have a question.

How often are the galleries "patrolled'?

Browsing through them just a few minutes ago, I saw so many thumbs that are still going against policy, I lost count. Someone mentioned that only about 3% of the members used the wrong type thumb. I went to page 8 of the general galleries and found at least one thumb on each page that either had flat out nudity in it, transparent clothing or words that should not be there. I went to free stuff earlier and the first thing I saw was a blurred nude image about 10 feet long. (The thumb, that is, not the figure itself.) And it can't be because they didn't know. There's a link and a warning when you upload an image and free stuff items are supposed to be approved first before putting them there. I conclude that image posters are not reading and someone (meaning whoever is in charge of approving free stuff items) let a thumb through that shouldn't have.

People....get it straight. Renderosity is a PRIVATE, FOR-PROFIT SITE and as such has the right to say how they want their site to look. Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, your local grocery store are privately owned, for-profit businesses. And they can decide how they want their store to look. What makes anyone think Renderosity does not have this same right? So how about just following the rules, please?

And Renderosity...how about some consistancy in this matter? Hit the galleries and give equal treatment to everyone.

Oh yeah.... I was thinking that you having the right to have your site and newsletter look the way  you want wasn't censorship, but it really is. It's the banning certain words from thumbs that bother me more than the nudity, believe it or not. Too close to book-burning for me. But that's just my opinion.**
