Quote - > 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
Aesthetics is irrelevant. You are ignoring the compulsion that Puritans have for being perceived as open-minded and fair and, well, liked. Black bars would suggest that this was "censorship" rather than the simple requirement that everyone be reasonable. Even oppressors need love, you know. Not that kind, gutterbrain.
Seriously, the censor bar ban is utterly ludicrous. If the problem is burnt eyeballs, then blurred
