Not a PTB, but still:

Also, on the nudity thing.
Let's get real.
There's Botticelli.
There's Michelangelo.And then there's the Poser Gallery.
Not saying that there aren't very beautiful nude artwork in the Poser galleries. There are. But, one must separate the wheat from the chaf. A LOT. However, most of it....well, most of it looks like little Karrie got into mommy's makeup, put it all over her barbie doll, put playdoh on the boobs to make them bigger, and took a photo. No expressions. Usually thoughtless composition and overal integrity with regards to lighting and..well, reality. With stuff like "gee, my hand can't go through my boob, why can hers?" never comes to mind with many of the members.
So, please, let's REALLY not insult the masters by thinking that much of the galleries here are anywhere close to on par.
And with that, I'm finished here.
It's amazing what you can find out about "TPTB" when they stop guarding thier words so closely.
I know that JenX has dropped her mod status, but I doubt that her feelings were dramatically changed with that change of status.
I don't know about anyone else, but I will not be spending any money with a place that employs people that will call so many people's work crap. I will not be opening myself to the abuse of the "PTB" who seem to find it accaptable to all but call the majority people posting thier images talentless hacks.
I decided long ago that I would not subject myself to abuse, and that I would not quietly take any abuse dished out to me.
I will continue to watch the site in hopes that things change, but I'm not holding my breath if these are the candid thoughts of the people that are supposed to be "support staff."
