Acutally, whining and complaining are defined as:

Whine (hwn, wn)

1. To utter a plaintive, high-pitched, protracted sound, as in pain, fear, supplication, or complaint.

2. To complain or protest in a childish fashion.

Complain (km-pln)
1. To express feelings of pain, dissatisfaction, or resentment.

2. To make a formal accusation or bring a formal charge.

Sycophant (sk-fnt, sk-)
:a servile self-seeking flatterer

Wiseass (wzs)
:A smart aleck

What many people characterize as whining and complaining is actually:

Dissent (d-snt)

1. To differ in opinion or feeling; disagree.

2. To withhold assent or approval.

There are whiners and complainers here at Renderosity and often they are sycophants or wise asses who tend to whine and complain primarily about those who dissent. The act of dissent does not require that someone offer a suggestion although often those that dissent do. One cannot help but question the motives of those that desire to quash dissent and silence the dissenters. There is nothing wrong with having a difference of opinion and debating or discussing those. In the case of "thumbnail censorship", many of those that are for it have valid reasons to support it as do those who are against it.

I may have spoken hastily with my comment about my "amusement". Re-examining the thread, it would seem my amusement was perhaps, out of place, as the thread does not contain much "whining and complaining" and did not degenerate (so far) as threads like this often do. For that I apologize. Most often these discussions do degenerate in to "us vs them" shouting and bullying matches often containing "whine and cheese" comments against those that dissent Renderosity's policies.

While I personally disagree with cruzin's suggestion and have stated my reasons for it several posts above this one, I appreciate the fact that the suggestion was offered. However, having a private gallery or forcing people to go to Renderotica is not the solution. 

I personally feel Renderosity is wrong in their decision, and while I agree that a full on nude "crotch shot" should not be the focus of a thumbnail, I do not believe in "throwing the baby out with the bath water". Baring all nudity in thumbnails is an unnecessary over-reation to the problem. Such over-reactions have characterized Renderosity staff and management from day 1 of the Bondware takeover.

With the "nudity flag" that removes thumbnails that contain nudity from the site of those that choose not to view it, banning nudity in thumbnails was overkill. For those that choose to see nudity but do not wish to have it "thrown in their face", simple standards eliminating "crotch shots" or other blatent "sexual" imagery from thumbs would have sufficed. As for bare breasts, humongous or otherwise, I can see no reason to eliminate those from thumbs. If bare breasts of any size offend you, it would be best to set the nudity filter. With the diverse community we have, it is hardly fair to say bare breasts are fine in thumbnails as long as they aren't over "36C".

It's all fun and games...
Until the flying monkeys attack!!!
