Quote - Acadia - a few things.
One - how does the thumbnail you created (thanks for that) even remotely show the scene in which I created. No sense of the flying horse or the sky or the ocean or the dolphins.
Two - and most importantly - I created a thumbnail with a bikini painted on to cover the breasts in order to appease the nipple police. There is no showing of nipple anywhere and that is why Im pissed.
And the fact they consider a thong "buttock nudity" is laughable. I mean how fucking uptight are we getting here?!
Lastly - your thumb was creative (giving credit where its due) and your statement of "If you don't talk to your cat about catnip..." - love it!!
If you have a nude and/or violent image, and the nudity and/or violence tags are on, you must use a cropped thumbnail. If you have a white bikini on that thumbnail you have in the gallery, I can't see it. Personally I can still see what looks like nipples and when I look at the thumbnail you have posted, and the actual image itself, they look the same, only different sizes.
You cannot have a nude/violent image and have a reduced scale image for a thumbnail because if your image is "nude", then it stands to reason that the resized image in the thumbnail is also nude.
As far as painting a bikini on a thumbnail that is not in the actual image itself, that can be considered "censor-like thumbnail" and is not permitted.
**The hard and fast rule is that if you have a nude and/or violent image, and the nudity and/or violence tags are on, you must use a cropped thumbnail.
**If you want to have a fully resized thumbnail of the actual image, then you will have to redo your image and add a bikini top and bottom to the figure. Then there will be no need to have a nudity flag and you can then use a resized image as your thumbnail.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
