Banning 'hate crimes' could get very touchy. For instance; where does this fall: http://www.dominionpost.com/a/news/2002/01/30/bj/amideast.jpg (you'll have to go there on your own). Is it a political statement about colonialism and oppression or is it a statement of racism? Answer really does depend on who you ask. On my banned image: The other day I got an email saying I could post it again. But I'm still unsure because this issue seems to be unresolved still. My last deletion came with a warning putting me 'on probation' and I'd hate to get invited back then banned over what I was invited back to do... :) Now I'm about 40% through this thread... (Can I hold off posting till I finish... :) ) "Remove an image from the gallery when someone is brought up on charges for it, not before." At least in the 3D work; this is highly unlikely thanks the Supreme Court. At least for the Americans. Somebody at one point was posting turn of the 20th century photos of tribeswomen; if any of those women were underage that could very well 'become an issue'. But not before the powers that be take down National Geographic... OFF TOPIC: "the only people that will vote for the hot20, or AOM" Also I've never voted becuase I've never been able to find a link that let me the results of the voting. :) Polls in the net are inherently flawed though. I'm a member of an RPG forum where the members held a writing contest. In the first week in one day one of the writers went from the bottom of the vote to jump several hundred positions all the way up to the top in the span of a few hours. They shut down the poll over that and switched the vote to a forum like this where people had to make individual posts and state in words what they liked. THat way if you wanted to stuff the results you at least had to go through a lot more work to make eachof your posts sound like a different person and the mods could still catch you with IP address records. END OFF TOPIC Lastly: It isn't just 'pro-nude-fairies'. There's whole categories of non sexual art that could be affected by either of these potential policies. The one banning any nudity in something appears underage, or the one banning any hints of sexuality (which can be so subjective... as the ice cream girl points out).

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
