Im sick and tired of Daz3d and Renderosity. They really make me furious.
They delete my gallery posts 3 times a day. Eveytime they see 1 inch of naked skin..
DANG.. delete it as fast as they can. LOL.

These sites have rules for nudity and there are probably good reasons why.
Have to cover their butts from being attacked by the protectors of tiny tots everywhere.
Some of the protectors actually care but a lot are in for the glory and fame.

From the artist's point of view it does suck and you probably should find a site that allows you to post what you want without fussing with your pictures.

Again if you do not want to see nude people, why should put up with it?
Why should people be nude or half nude to sell non sex related items?

Is it really prudery or are people tired of companies using sex to sell items?
Is it such a great and wonderous thing to see someone use naked or half naked folks to sell assorted items?

Big whoop that some countries use nude people to sell stuff, its not "pushing the envelope", its getting the buck or Euro or Yen. At the end of the day you will want to skip past it to watch the real content.

What are the roots of the prudery?
Is it Satan (lol) or Religion?

How do we fix this problem?
Is it even fixable?

Aside:
When someone mentions "Free speech". I want to laugh a lot.
Do you want to say anything you wish or only the stuff that makes sense?
I bet that "Free speech" has limits in a civil society.
