OK......well that brings up this ugly issue of what would be allowed to put in a children's gallery. I've been a moderator here for a very long time. And a member for years before that. I can safely say that some people will try to post nude(or semi-nude) images and then say it's not offensive to my child. Or it's OK because it's "art". If there were VERY strict rules about nudity stating that ONLY fully clothed (non-sexual clothing like nighties, etc.) images will be allowed. Would it still be a good idea? Basically what I'm saying is. Whoever runs this. Would have complete control over what is and isn't allowed. And there will be absolutely NO discussion or fighting about it. PERIOD CAN YOU HANDLE THAT? I HAVE MY DOUBTS. This gallery would need to be distgustingly safe and cute ;-) I'm not convinced that this can be pulled off here. Considering how many people we have here who like to keep pushing the rules in the name of "art". Before you say..."sure no problem". I'd like everyone to think about it for a while. We've had enough controversy here to last us a three lifetimes. And I can assure you that someone will get pissed off if we don't allow thier image to be posted in a gallery as pure as a children's gallery. Please be honest about this. And have pitty on this poor old mod. who's tired of forcing people to behave themselves. ScottA
