Quote - So for both of you, you have not told me what type of images you feel you are prevented from displaying here...

Umm. So what? I can expect a 3 day ban for not answering correctly? :p
The "..." almost make a threat.

...

The pictures that I wanted to post are not longer relevant because I got no permission to publish them. Like I wrote before...
But if, the only concern would be the part of the TO(denied)S where all kind of violence against living beings is covered.
Other than that I had no problems so far and will have none in the next couple weeks or months.
Work...

Quote - Zarat, you have said that creativity and the TOS do not function together. But you haven't stated anything specific. I'm getting the impression from your post that you were happier when the marketplace accepted all kinds of sexual-orientated products?

I'm not expectig an answer regarding any specific problem.
Those artists who feel their creativity is limited by the TOS said this already over the past years and also in this thread.
I only expect some solution for the problem that many decide to move to other sites for the rules are less restrictive there. For example DA. DA is ... well, nothing good at all, but seemingly there are less problems with TOS while there's no porn all over the place.

I would be happier if there were not around 20 marketplaces to watch for new stuff.
The impression that you got is conditional.

IF many small marketplaces would be brought together in a few larger ones
***    THEN*** it's inevitable that the filtering is less restrictive
***        ELSE*** it simply won't work and things will develope as they do.

That should fix your impression...
Yeah, my post was a bit long and one can miss a line or two. :)
It's not what I find at RMP that annoys me, but simply that not only artists move elsewhere but also vendors. With the result of many small marketplaces.
And I'm not talking about all kind of products. It's fine if there are 4 MP's, ReRo, DAZ, Renderotica, and some MP solely for architectural stuff.

Quote - The decision to remove those types of products was made on a business basis. Sales have improved and customer feedback is more positive since that decision was made. Naturally we can't please all people, all the time. Please also remember that Renderosity is based in the US and subject to US laws. US views on some subjects (such as sex) can be quite different to the European view ;-)

Well, if you say so then it's fine.
There is still the option to keep all stuff located within 1 domain.
2 or more marketplaces for different types of stuff and 2 or more main galleries for different types of art.
There could easily be a listing of all written stuff and one for fairies, one for birthday/holiday stuff, one for more sexual oriented art and maybe even one big boob only gallery.
And for gods sake put all images that contain nudity in a separate gallery.

This way no one can complain about the nipples (or nudes) of fear and loathing that appear "unwanted" on screen.
If one enters a certain gallery under these circumstances, he/she should be aware what to find there.
The controversial US-views on some subjects won't matter in this case because the user decided to enter a gallery. No accidents, nothing unwanted. With US-laws that shouldn't be a problem.

And yes, it's possible to set up a website like this.
There must now be an really really good excuse why not to go this way.
Why not to please more people while at the same time not making more feel offended.

The couple 1000,- USD to write all the needed code shouldn't e the problem here.
It must be some other reason. It's also not a real problem to come to this solution. Every average human being would end at this point pretty soon.

If it's really the money then maybe ReRo want to collect donations to get this done.

Sorry but I don't get it.
To me it only seems like some responsibles make a problem out of something that is none.
After all, no one asked for something like a unified field theory. Only some HTML and so on...

It's like trying to teach a dog how to read and write. If there's any reaction at all, then it's always the same 3 noises. But I'm curious what we will see first: a dog that can read and write or a good management for ReRo . Prolly we will rather see an dog getting it's PhD than the latter.
I could almost feel pity for such an management.
