Uh, jumping in a little late here, and really just looking for some clarification, and not regarding the nudity rules... If this has been asked, I do appologise, but I honestly don't have time to read through 11 pages... and most of this is about the nudity anyway. My question concerns the following as stated from the front page article: -No depictions of injury being caused to any living creature. This includes, but is not limited to, injury from either piercing or edged weapons/tools, projectiles, fire/chemical burns, blunt force trauma, punching, kicking, slapping, strangulation or crushing. This also includes accidents and self-harm. -Weapons may be shown providing a) they do not have blood on them, and b) the injured victim is not visible. -Images of minor bruising, burns or bloody wounds that have already occurred are acceptable Since the word "images" was used here... I'm not sure if you're talking about these things only being banned from thumbnails, or from the galleries as well? Pardon my ignorance, but I'd rather ask for clarifications if I'm unsure on something. Not that I do horrific violent images, but... If these violence rules apply to the gallery as well, it would really make for a borring horror section. Not to mention no more portrayals of epic battle scenes, etc. To summarize.. The above mentioned policies regarding violence - Are they only applicible to thumbnails or the entire site (galleries too) as a whole? Thanks.
