1.  There are laws in the US that we have to adhere to.  So, whatever your view on this rule, we have rules stating that nudity must be flagged, period.  Not that nudity can't happen, just add a flag and a different thumbnail image.  We provide one for member use on the Thumbnail Guidelines page.

2. It was implemented, and continued, to keep down on spam posts by unscrupulous vendors who would otherwise use this site as a free-for all.  So, while you see no need for it in your mind, there are reasons we have it.

3.  Again, we DO take all items into consideration.  Whether or not they are implemented are based on 1. how practical they are in terms of community-wide usage 2. Whether or not we need to get other staff (programmers, Marketplace admin, etc.) involved. 3. Whether the request is simply personal and wouldn't benefit the community as a whole at all 4. and finally retraining of staff.  All of those things take time, regardless of the situation.  It would not only be impractical to keep the community updated on the status of every single request made, but it would be impossible to logistically maintain as most of our staff are remote-serving staff, working out of our homes.  "The list" is most definitely centrally located, but those of us who communicate with members most often don't have access to it.

Frankly, I find the rest of your post argumentative for absolutely no reason.  We are doing our best to accomodate the community as a whole.  Unfortunately, that means that not everyone is going to be happy with certain things.  This is part of catering to groups of people.  

The simple fact is that, while it IS your art, you do not get to define what is and is not considered nudity by the staff and admin of this site.  We have guidelines that we have set forth, and all we ask people to do is to adhere to the rules and ask questions regarding the parts of the rules that they don't understand.  Not one of us on the staff enjoys having to trawl through the galleries to look for violations.  I'd rather go through and look for artistic works that I enjoy.  I'd rather point out the good stuff.  Unfortunately, there are people who are either ignorant to certain aspects of our TOS or those who feel it does not apply to them.  In either instance, we work to educate first before all else.  

I'm sorry you feel that we don't do enough, however, we are human, and can only do so  much.  Working to make things better takes time, and we'd rather do things right than make sure they're done RIGHT NOW.

As for your comments regarding TheBryster, I have personally never seen that, but, if you have complaints about a staff member, they need to go to admin@renderosity.com rather than be aired in the public forums.  Ideally, we would hope things would be able to be worked out in private between the two of you.  I can only hope that some of the things that you've taken offense to were things said by TheBryster in jest, since I know that sometimes his jocular way of speaking can be misinterpreted in that manner.
