Quote - Gallery images are archived after 45 days so someone browsing the galleries won't see nude thumbnails, they would have to go into the archives and pull up older images in order to be seeing nude thumbnails.  There were several reasons for the change, did you read the entire Front Page article or just bits and pieces of posts made in this thread?

 

Oh no, I read the whole damm blurb...

You are imposing pointless censorship, so you can use gallery thumbs of your pet artists in your ad-spam-mailings without worrying if some kiddies might see a female nipple...

Personally I'd prefer no pointless censorship, and no gallery spam in my mailbox.

I don't particullarly want to have my inbox cluttered with thumbs for landscapes, or robots, or whatever...

Gallery preferences, there is a reason for them, if you don't want to see naked people, don't tick that 'see nudity' box...

ANY increase in censorship is BAD.  All censorship leads to repression. Take that stupid 'The following adult figures are now considered child figures' rubbish. Bunch of Official Ego's started deciding which of their rivals works were 'under age' and deleting... the Fairy Pic posters got riled, yet another split in the membership.

Then there was that store censorship policy that cost you a number of vendors...

We can go back to previous debacles that lead to many members splitting away and forming rival sites with rival stores...

What this place seems to be forgetting is that it is a parasite site. It exists not to serve the 'public' but to serve the artists. No artists, no galleries to ad-spam people with, no artists, no content sales in the store, no artists, no renderosity.

To paraphrase from a line in 'Ben Hur'

"You exist to serve these artists, serve well and exist..."

Censoring your artists does not serve them, it annoys them and drives them elsewhere, to sites not governed by US Bible-Belt Nipple-o-Phobia.
