Spiritbro77 - you've missed the boat time and again with your posts - THINK for a moment rather than scanning for the next thing you could possible argue about.

The image/article - WHATEVER (man-you fixated on that like a 5yr old on candy - does it really f**ing matter for the purposes of this argument?!) - was removed because of a complaint. Not becuase of nudity - because of a complaint. Not because of TOS - because of  complaint. Not becuase it was deemed porn - because of a complaint. Not because it wasn't good enough to be on the site - because of a COMPLAINT - are you noticing a common word here...? Use brain... Think... All this started over a - let's all say it together now for the ones who might yet start another misrepresented and bogus argument might ACTUALLY  understand it - COMPLAINT (though he has said more recently that it was just him joking)!

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.

Brain... Use brain... No, I didn't say that. Part of how this thread has gotten OT is a smallish debate over strictness of the TOS - and someone even mentioned at one point the desire to just have an open Gallery where no one's art is inhibited at ALL - WAY bad idea! That was my adressing that issue - too bad I didn't make it clearer that I was speaking of THAT in particular - sorry for any confusion there.

And don't chew on the admins - that is one thankless job I'd never wanna have! My wife served for ONE year on a community board hoping to make changes that would better the place, instead of the "business as usual", and we were inundated with people calling the house at all hours of the night chewing her out for all kinds of stuff - and she just got there!

Great line outta "Clerks": "This'd be a great job if it weren't for all the f***ing customers."

They can't please everyone - post a classic DaVinci image that happens to show a penis and it gets a complaint that suggests hypocracy on their own rules, so they take it down - THEN they get their asses handed to them for taking it down! After complaints , the make it part of the TOS that they can't have nudity in the thumbnail (because some folks did NOT click the nudity tags, or the violence tags - for those of you who argued about filtering!), an people still did it. So NOW, they make it in the TOS/operations/whatever (all we need right NOW is for you to start arguing over which portion this is) that it's no longer a thumbnail but a Content Advisory image.

Some people make it their mission in life o buck the system/shake things up (my personal favorite of their expression, as if this makes them more important or cool - just more ignorantly annoying to me!) and so the response for any administration (in ANY corporation/business) is to get more and more strict - and then they get smacked around for doing it because it'!

They've got a crappy job (yes, be fortunate they love their jobs!) - make no mistake about it! Do you really think they look forward to seeing yet another f***ing "Stupid TOS" thread in the Forums?! All they can do is try to keep things running as smoothly as they can with what they've got, and who they have to deal with.
