I'm seriously not sure if I should check the nudity flag on my latest pic and I don't know where to ask so now I'm doing it here. I don't want to flag it with nudity if it isn't considered necessary, because the figure is nude, but hidden partially behind some scenery. So... Nude or not?

Try sitemailing a mod :o).

I do believe that the Mods need to rethink flags. I mean, woth kid below the age of consent produces art for rend? I don't like porn myself but this is not a site for children. The Royaln Acadamey or thr Tate National ( and I assume other real world galleried) do not flag nudity. If five year old children access this site and see nudity then blame thier parents, not Rendo or the WWW.

None of that is either here nor there ;o). She's just trying to follow the rules of the site, not make a statement...lol.

I was considering sitemailing a mod, but there's no way that I can see that tells me who's in charge of the galleries. And I can't see if they're online or not. No need to sitemail someone who's on Christmas vacation or something :)

And no, I wasn't making a statement, although I do agree with Apple on this one. Anyway, rules are rules and I prefer to follow them rather than be told off. But I've seen some being told off for flagging unnecessarily for nudity in threads, and nudity always gives a pic more hit ;) I wasn't angling for hits although they're always nice, I was curious if the girl on my render was considered nude or not when she's mostly hidden behind a menhir.

I'd sitemail ryuslilangel. She seems to be the most active lately.

TrekkieGrrrl - You are welcome to send it to me a ryuslilangel@renderosity.com. I'll be happy to take a look at it for you and let you know. If the image is "The Shaman" a flag is not needed. (Nothing is showing) I'll take care of that for you. :)

This goes for everyone as well. I am always happy to view images if you are unsure if a flag is needed. :)

Waves hello to Laurie :)

If there is no visible indication of clothing being worn, then the figure is deemed to be nude, even if the offending parts are hidden behind something.

However, if you take that same figure, add pasties that cover the nipples and areola of the breasts, leave the breasts exposed and hide the lower part of the figure behind a plant or something, the figure is deemed to be wearing clothing (the pasties), and it can be "assumed" that the bottom parts are also covered with clothing, and in that case the figure is not nude, even if there is a plant covering the offending bottom part, which you know is nude, but the viewer doesn't because she is wearing pasties, which is clothing.

Confusing? You bet!

I used to be a Mod and did Gallery duty (we all take turns) and even I can't remember how to implement the Nudity rule in such a case.

Just as well I very rarely render nekkid people these days.  :)

I had occasion to make a similar enquiry of the mods a few months ago. One of my images contained a nude V4 but with a bronzed statue material. I got a very nice reply from Artemis informing me that the nudity flag was not necessary. I was also told that there had been an easing of the restrictions but unfortunately no details on what exactly that entails so I still don't know what I should be flagging and what is acceptable.

If indeed the rules have been changed can we have some clearer information? Maybe that section of the TOS could use a rewrite.

Nudity Guidelines: ( These guidelines are for thumbnails and normal images)

• No nudity in thumbnails. This means no clothes, clothes that are transparent or blurring of nude images. 
• No areola or nipple exposure, and no transparent fabric.
• No exposed buttocks – more exposure than a standard bikini bottom would constitute nudity.
• No exposed male or female genitals  or pubic hair

In a nutshell, a flag is needed if:

• Areola,Nipple,genitals are showing
• If the character is clearly has no clothing
• More than 50% of the buttocks are showing

Please feel free to ask any questions if you are confused. Also, i'm always open to questions. Feel free to sitemail or email me. :)

I was a co-ordinator for awhile, and I recall that even the illusion of the figure not having any clothing on was considered nudity. Which is why holding up objects (signs, leaves or rocks)  in strategic places to hide the nudity is still considered nudity. Unless of course this has now changed since I stepped down.

Feel free to also email/sitemail any of the coordinators listed at the top of the forum.  Not everyone is on at the same time and so multiple queries are ok and may get a quicker response than contacting just one.

That is no longer the case. Hands and objects can cover and the nudity flag does not need to be checked.

That's excellent news! I always thought that the "illusion" stuff was vague and highly subjective. It's one of the reasons I stepped down. I couldn't in good conscience enforce a rule that I didn't believe in myself.

Great. I guess that was exactly what I was asking really. Since to me it's fairly clear that the girl is indeed naked, but nothing is showing because of the strategically placed rock (and it was a lot of fun to put that rock JUST right btw) L

I knew that statues were exempt from the rule, I'm even allowed to show my Statuesque product nude on the banner ;) (then again it would be stupid with a clothed statue - and the banner pose is a very modest one, too ;))

So thanks for removing the nudity flag. And Elfwine, thanks for the comment. I think you're probably the one closest to the thought behind the pic ;) (hence the .. rather blatant innuendo in that picture... if you have an eye for it L)
