Quote - Right what I feel is a child and what the mods think is a child, are two very different things.
Yes, very true.
Unfortunately the characters in our images are not real models and don't have a way of authenticating age, so determining age is highly subjective. And as you say, what you may think to be a "child" may be considered "borderline" or even "adult" to someone else looking at that same image. And in the end the only opinion that matters is the staff's.
For the most part the face is the deciding factor when it comes to whether an image is booted from the gallery or left. Sometimes body shape IE: very petite, waist:hip ratio, do play a part but most of the time it is decided based on how old the face looks.
You can have a character with size 99 ZZZ boobs, but if the face looks like that of a 10 year old, the character is considered "child" and the image then becomes a violation of the TOS.
Most of the time the images that come into question are Aiko characters.
I always tell people that if they are unsure about the age of a character, to always run it by the staff first and get it "pre-approved" in order to prevent getting a blemish on their account.
"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
