"He is - a complaint was announced that Rosity was a hyppocrit for having nudity in one of its own articles - so they removed the ARTICLE because of the complaint."

They removed the ARTICLE because one of Davincis works was part of it. His work had nudity so OMG gotta get rid of it. I say again, it was a DAVINCI for gods sake, not joe bobs big boobed poser work.

"Um... Duh... I um... Knew that one... Thanks for sharing... So VERY informative - funny how it's thrown in my face as if to be an informative "you should know that - been that way the entire time" when all I've heard is people bitching over the fact that THERE'S A FREAKIN MARKETPLACE!!!!"

Um Duh it HASN'T been that way the entire time. There was a time Rosity didn't HAVE a marketplace. And when the marketplace started it didn't have such a hold on every aspect of the site. The marketplace was a means to keep the gallery, forums, tutorial areas open. But very quickly that reversed and the Marketplace became the driving force behind Rosity with everything else a distant second consideration. 

"And what do I mean about "anything"...? One of the local colleges here has a problem - it's mostly an art college - with certain "rights" groups - "Right to Life" specifically - who keep showing up on campus with large boards they display to the students with photographs of aborted fetuses in harsh lighting. They parade around like they're making a point when all they're doing is trying to shock the st out of everyone - no TOS and you have some ahole posting THAT here on Rosity calling themselves "ar-TEESTS""

And this concerns the pulling of a Davinci peice how exactly? Are you saying posting a Davinci that has some nudity is the same as Right to lifers showing aborted fetuses?
 I'll say it again, if Rositys TOS is so strict that a DAVINCI has to be pulled,then it's time to shutter the place up. Next week we'll hear Rembrandt can't pass muster as well.

"Um... Ever buy a magazine...? "Interview with [big name master what what they do] - Understanding His Unequalled Techniques!" Not only informative, but it's for marketing purposes too - and if they don't do that, they go away... There's YOUR scoop - deal with it."

I don't recall anything particularly informative about this "Great Master" promotion. Just another way to sell something. If it was an article detailing their works, their techiques, the history of their paintings etc. Then I might agree, but nothing of the sort is being produced. Just a shoddy attempt at selling their wares using the "Great masters" names and works. (as long as those works pass TOS that is lol).Any site that pulls a Davinci, Rembrandt,or whatever, because of TOS doesn't deserve to be called an "Art Community".

Although, I have to say, I do, honestly, have plenty of magazines that not only have articles about the great masters before our times, used to shill wonderfully bad paints and/or other art materials, some even contain advertisements that USE the old masters' work in them! 
The art world is a commercial place.   It sucks, but the barter system went the way of the sabre toothed tiger."

Ant thats the type of business practice you think Rosity should aspire to? Fine, then since this is just a business, why pull a Davinci because of nudity? Sex sells baby. Time to post some Pron and really bring the suckers in.
