Quote - I can honestly say that not allowing black-bars or similar 'masks' to hide nudity in thumb-nails is a little puzzling. I've read the reasons behind this decision, and see their point of view. I just don't agree.

I believe the reason behind that is purely  esthetics and that it would make the gallery arrival pages look ugly with all of those "CENSORED" bars stamped across images, or blurring of certain areas or happy faces strategially placed etc.  Since everyone would have their own idea of how to do it, the gallery arrival pages would start to look childish and ugly. So they did the all or nothing rule....absolutely no censor-like thumnails.

Renderosity wants the arrival pages to be visually attractive and at first they weren't even going to allow people to use Censor thumbnails at all, but then they relented and  have been allowing people to use the standard Renderosity one because some people either don't know how, refuse to learn or are to lazy to learn  to make their own thumbnails.

"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
