*I wasn't blaming the mods only (they could offer their input and suggest other alternatives...)*

Yeah, cos I can see you'd really value the input of us nazi talentless hacks, right? :rolleyes:

Let's put this topic to bed. Again.

The reasons for the change in policy have been given again and again and again until I'm sure you all are as sick of hearing them as I am of repeating them.

Just for posterity's sake, I'll post them here again - and you can find them at the attached FP article too - before locking this baby up - since I see nothing constructive happening here at all. Again.

*One of our goals is to promote artists and show the world the wonderfully creative art work that is expressed through digital mediums. Another goal is to have consistency of the rules and presentation across all areas of our site: Galleries, Free Stuff, Tutorials, Blogs, Homepages and the MarketPlace.

In order to reach both these goals, we need to change the way thumbnail images appear to match the rules in the MarketPlace and the weekly newsletter. Thumbnail images across Renderosity will no longer contain nudity or graphic violence going forward.

Artistic nudity and violent images may still be uploaded to the galleries, and will still be marked with the appropriate content advisory warnings. The only thing that will change is what can be displayed in the thumbnail image.

Many Renderosity members have expressed to us that while they admire artistic nudity, they really don't like it when it's so "In Your Face" in the thumbnail.

In addition, we want to feature artists from the Art Charts in the weekly newsletter. However, since we don't allow nude thumbnails in our weekly newsletter, we can't do that until after we make this change.*
