Quote - I wholeheartedly agree that a policy change was needed. I wholeheartedly DISagree with the change that has been implemented. A disservice to both those who don't wish to view nudity and those who do.

Please reconsider. Please don't force the artists who create nude artwork to upload misleading thumbnails. Please don't mislead viewers who don't want to see nudity. Please don't mislead viewers who DO want to see nudity.

I think you are all trying to do your best to not even bother to try understanding.

Renderosity is a business, and first and foremost they have to look after their bottom line while taking into consideration the community itself.

They want their site to appear more professional and not like some 3rd rate XXX porn site, why is that so hard to understand?

Prior to the change this is how the galleries were viewed:

Nudity Filter ON:

• No nude thumbs.  The filter picks up on the nudity flags and displays  dozens upon dozens of Renderosity "content advisory" thumbs like this

Nudity Filter OFF:

• Dozens and dozens of in your face tits and ass thumbnails that were more indicative of a 3rd rate XXX porn site than a legititmate business catering to the graphic community and which also happens to have an art gallery for their members to use to display their images.

Now that there is a change in the thumbnail policy, this is how it is:

Nudity Filter ON (no change in how the gallery is viewed):

• No nude thumbs.  The filter picks up on the nudity flags and displays  dozens upon dozens of Renderosity "content advisory" thumbs like this:

**Nudity Filter OFF:
**- People have their nudity filter off for a reason.... so that they can look at all images, even nudes.

• Just because someone likes to look at nudes, doesn't mean they want to see an onslaught of in your fact tits and ass like you would see on a porn site.
• Now when the nudity filter is OFF,  you see "nice" looking thumbnails that aren't indicative of having just arrived at a "XXX Porn Site", which was very much the way it was before.
• The thumbnails that people upload are not misleading. The flag says "nudity", so just because you don't see tits and ass in the thumb doesn't mean you won't see it in the actual image when you click on it. 

As a result, the gallery looks more professional.  We can all still look at nude images. All not having tits and ass in the thumb means is not getting a double helping of tits and ass. You just have to click the image now to get your fix.  Simple.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
