Actually, the image I mentioned is gone, so you can't have seen it since the start of this thread. Other images by this artist like it have also been removed, though I suspect at the artist's initiative in response to the admin. action. I haven't got permission to mention who it is, but this artist is well known at this site, and none of the artwork comes within the legal definition of child pornography, let alone the legal definition of regular pornography. Interestingly, as I type this, this artist's goods, including youthful body morphs, are still for sale in the MP, advertised by an image no more or less pornographic than the banned image. R'osity's Terms of Service ban: Posting Unacceptable Images which include; 1. Depictions of physical arousal or sexual acts. 2. Genital contact with ANY object, other than sitting or clothing. 3. Rape or torture of any living or dead creature. The image to which I am referring did not fall into any of these categories; it involved a youthful figure, topless, but no genatalia showing. No sex act involved. So the membership is left to wonder whether there is a new unposted standard, or whether images are being deleted on the subjective whims of admins.
