This is the sort of debate that goes on within business all the time. Expanding your base comes with rewards but there is also risk. At what point do you lose your hard core following? Rosity has apparently lost at least a few and maybe more but, as I've written before, it's not so much the new policy, which is not all that unreasonable, but the way it was implemented.  Artists who do post nudes here could quite understandably feel insulted by a lot of what was written by staff members. I didn't feel insulted, but didn't feel the need to express my opinions in the most diplomatic terms possible either.

I've found the whole thing quite amusing and have posted more renders than usual to see how many more hits and comments I could get compared to the usual response by piggybacking onto these very active threads. It worked! :O)

I must add this. I was aware of the new policy, but did not read all the details involved and posted a pic with a thumbnail, that did not feature nudity but was deliberately gimmicky to attract more attention. That type of thumb was clearly forbidden now and I hadn't made myself aware of that. Got an email, fixed the thumb and the pic was promptly reposted. It was done the right way and hope that sort of thing continues and hope any artists who either have or are considering leaving give it another shot and I hope that the site management here moves forward in their awareness of customer relations.
