> Quote - Yes, agreed.  But calling 'hint of nipples!' on conforming clothes where they could only be 'built-in' to the clothing figure or gasping at hints of pubic hair or unsightly bulges is getting a bit nit-picky.  I've seen more racy things on billboards - out in general public for ALL to see and hardly avoidable.  Where is the censorship, where o' where!  The Department of Homeland Censorship isn't doing its job! > > I have an idea for the perfect armband for the DoHC - maybe a nice spiffy black uniform to go along with it... ;P

Anyone seen those "Dove - Pro Aging" commercials on TV where they have women over the age of 40 naked but posed in such a way that no "sexual"  body parts are showing? Mainstream TV, all hours of the day and night.  Completely nude...tastefully done...nothing showing. Yet none of those images are suitable for the Renderosity gallery thumbnails!  That's more than prudish.

I like the thumbnail policy because I enjoy viewing all art..including nude images, but at the same time I thought the gallery (without the nudity filter on) was looking garish and tacky with all of the enlarged shots of T&A.  So for that reason I'm glad the new policy has cleaned up that aspect of it.  I can still view the nudes without the nudity filter on, and I am not subjected to  what in the past resembled the  back  pages of  Penthouse Magazine. However IMHO   it's gone to the extreme and back in time by about 40 years.

IMHO if you need to blow it up in a graphic program or kiss your monitor to see something, then it should be left as it is because beyond glancing at a thumbnail, I don't think many people actually pay that much attention to the detail in them when looking through the gallery. So I doubt that they would notice that bit of nipple or bit of pubic hair unless they were specifically looking for those types of things in the thumbnail.
