I'm going to step in here as a Mod and explain a couple of things.

Almost every time an image is flagged it is viewed by many Mods and Coords who discuss it in detail. Only when a concensus is reached does the appropriate and often more lenient penalty get handed down.

As for not being banned for nudity in thumbanils, what LaurieA says is true - unless of course you want to make a career out of it!

In the end I have to say that we are only talking about thumbnail images. Why people get all out of shape because they are required to produce an inoquous thumbnail-sized square representation of their latest work is beyond me.

But just for the heck of it, consider this. How would a normal average everyday person feel if by chance their impressionable young child suddenly noticed that the page on display on the computer just happened to be a thumbnail gallery which was full of the most obscene and violent images ever conjored up by artists on this site. And, how long do you think Renderosity would continue to garner advertising revenue if the world at large regarded it as a third rate porn site?

You don't have to pay to be here - you just have to obey a few simple rules and learn how to upload your art properly.
