I'm just another browser who happens to like a beautiful woman every once in a while,
but I do like them naked, or semi-naked at least, and now thanks to this insane policy, even though I have personally PERMITTED being shown nude images, now I can't discern which are nude and which aren't nude.
But, really.. what gets me angry about this is that it's NOT about professionalism, this is about censorship in it's purest form. It's the application of a moral standard.
The reason I'm claiming this is because a) I can post a thumb of a nazi cross, a weapon and other offensive things and still not get moderated b) I can post the thumb of my male boobs and not get censored,
The smart approach would have been to get artists to check a "this thumb contains nudity/violence" box and then make a setting that reads "do not show nude thumbnails" that way EVERYBODY is happy. This addition to the TOS agreement is just stupid and inconsistent with the filtering of nude content.
Edit: I'm also considering leaving this place for some other community, if anyone has any alternatives, throw me a PM. Also, the part about posting my male boobs on renderosity for all to see becomes more interesting as time goes by.. I may actually do it. (again, I'm not a graphical artist, I'm a musician actually)
