As an aside, I thought nudity in thumbs was verboten these days. Judging by what I've seen today, it ain't very strictly enforced.

well personally i don't care if there's nudity or not in thumbnails... tho i can understand and accept that some people don't want to see that. however... it really made my skin crawl (and actually close the tab) as i saw a gallery where half of the thumbnails were this huge, stupid, ugly, annoying wannabe funny smiley... not sure if it's the "official" rendo neutral thumbnail - in which case they really should change it ASAP - or the artist's own choice or even creation (in which case they also should change it, lol).

i just kinda came back to rendo, intended to visit galleries, was super glad to see there's a new male model genre... and then what, gallery flooding with clones of the same meh subject or pseudo art uploaded for points, smiley overkill as mentioned above... it deflated my motivation to peek at galleries very fast, and i'm really not keen on seeing my own stuff lost in the middle of this all, so i prolly won't reopen a gallery/upload my stuff again. and it ain't much better in the prime gallery either. giving points for uploads was a good idea but it's being abused. short: i'd rather see more naked pics (even i REALLY don't like chick pics!!!) than pathetic art, smileys, and repetitive clones. because those hurt my sensibilities way more.

IN THE END, MERITOCRACY HAS NOT ONLY PERMEATED OUR DAILY LIVES AND WORK, BUT ALSO OUR HEARTS, OUR MINDS AND OUR PERCEPTION OF ART...
