smerc, I appreciate you addressing this, yet at the same time I have a very large issue with what you said. I know you are working on new rules on child nudity, but those rules are not yet in place. With the removal of this image, the only thing we as a community can assume is that this image will break the new rules. I have seen this image and find nothing that would come close to child porn. Are we now to assume that any figure that seems to be young that has no clothing will be removed regardless of the subject matter? If this is the case, so be it. Renderosity will not die out like some poeple think. It will just become a place for art that is of a very low quality. Renderosity will no longer be the place to go to promote your work as a serious artist. It will become synonymous with low quality renderings. I'm not saying that anything not having nudity in it is low quality. I am saying that those of us that truely work at our art will no longer post here due to that fact that we feel that eventually it will break some future rule and no longer be allowed. The better way to handle this I believe would have been to leave the image up. It does not break any of the current rules. If someone bitches, well point them to the TOS also stating that the image does NOT break the rules. The rules are there not only to protect the viewer, but also to protect the artist. IF the artist is no longer protected then the true artsits will leave. There are many others that will stay but the quality will definatly suffer.
