Quote - I think that last time this kerfuffle came around, someone suggested that it could be possible to use a thumbnail generated from a slightly different (i.e., covered up) version of the image, as long as the slightly different image didn't look like it had a cheesy slapdash covering. In otherwords, I could have used an uncropped version of my "Naked Catgirl in a Temple with a Big Fish" where she was nearly naked, and had her naked in the main image. I was able to get a cropped thumbnail OK on that one though. (Except that it seems almost impossible to get a thumbnail down to 15K in size. I had to go with 100x100 pixels and the worst quality jpeg. Meh!)

 

I see your point with this but I still think that making a separate thumbnail to 'cover up' parts of the real artistic image (note i'm not referring to Huge Naked Gazongas In A Temple With A Small Vicky Attached) detracts and quite probably destroys the artistic value of the image by presenting the prospective viewer with something that is not a true representation of the original piece of art.

The other thing of course is that, as people have said on the forums before, if the thumbnail does not display the nudity that the full sized image does, the possibility exists that someone may miss the word 'Nudity' and open it thinking it is safe/acceptable for them to do so. They would then be presented with something that they weren't expecting which could piss them off and possibly even maqke them shy away from that artists altogether.

Acadia, the way the weather in my country is going at the moment if I visited Canada it would be like taking a vacation in the Bahamas! :)
