I'm curious. The latest two banned images (that I'm aware of), arcady's and mosca's, - was there a complaint that led to it? Or was this just the reaction of the admins/mods to the age/nudity issue?
It just doesn't make sense for an art site, which was very relieved as a whole to the latest news on the virtual images ruling, to be so quick to censor. Censoring the images you (admins/mods) have is the direct opposite of what the law was determined to be.
Some muscles are being flexed here and "those in charge" have got to understand why the members are confused. If you don't see it then you aren't bothering to look. It's pretty obvious.
By flexing these muscles you're going to encounter resistance and people who will render images that are borderline in retaliation.
Is Renderosity under fire from someone or some group? Something we don't know about? Because I don't understand why Renderosity can't take the stance that "this is an art site and this is what our artists want". I was under the impression that this site existed for the artists. Not for spectators. I know some link to their galleries and have received paying work due to the exposure here but by and large this site is for the artists, isn't it?
Now the original three restrictions are understandable. But things are getting ridiculous and if you aren't going to listen to what the majority is saying, you're cutting your own throat here.
