Ok, I'm stupid, so help me: The 'violence' tag is the red font named 'violence'. But where is the 'nudity' warning? I didn't see any, even not on my own pics where I set this tag. I always was thinking that people who do not want to see nudity see no thubnail either. Am I wrong (never testing Rosity without nudity ;))?

I have an idea how to control if Poser models are of legal age or not. Use her/his ID card and no doubts shall remain.

Many thanks to Vali for her phantastic Liliana! :)))

Guess AsherD wrote that the matter is not protecting the children but improving art. So eg a classical nude is art, but a 'porny' nude isn't. If you want to understand the difference, go to the museum.

Ok, lets go. At first to Spain, Museo de Prado. There this picture of Correggio is hanging:

Animal sex? Leda is nude and also classical, but the swan (animal!) is touching her. Obviously she is attracted by him and anyone knows that this is the begin of an explicit sexual but nevertheless 'classical' story. Does this conflict with the Rosity TOS and the law of Tennessee?
I don't know. Test yourself, dear Rosity admins!

Now lets walk to the National Gallery of London. There hangs a picture of a guy called Michelangelo who obviously doesn't respect the TOS of Renderosity:


This horny swan, deep between her legs - oh, I better do not think about what she does with her legs! - touches with his arrow ...cough..., with his neck her breast, with his beak her mouth and their pose in all ... so tender, so lustful - no, I must look away ashamed!
If this classical nude is ok according to the TOS then I do not worry about the pictures I'm intending to post.

Ladynimue: In our church a cross with Jesus Christ on it is hanging around. Now this is forbidden in Renderosity by the TOS. Or (historical) battle pictures - I promise I won't create none of them - forbidden? And what the heck are 'young people'? Is this a professional definition? If you mention kids (agree!!) why not write 'kids'? asks Ona

@pierrecolat Then this seems not to be an alternative. @sirkrite I think your idea is fantastic. People who don't want cannot be bored by virtual nudists right from the begin. :) But what with those people who like 'fine-art' nudity but no kisses or so? And finally - you mentioned it - how about the 'morality police', people who overcome their own disgust and look if those suspicious nudists (or even worse) do forbidden things? And it seems that even the administration of Renderosity belongs to them. Why else this 'clarification' of the TOS?

Hi Matteo_sancarlos, is Renderotica really a dependance of Renderosity? I believe not.

blushes Thank you, Richabri! :))) A tag or a separate gallery, anyway, I am afraid this will not hinder those people complaining. Because they think art generally may be not 'dirty', 'erotic', 'horrible' } 'entartet' (Hitler's vocabulary). I don't know the US laws if they can harm the webmaster. If so, this might be an argument for a hard TOS of course.

Hi Richabri, I wrote this while you wrote your posting, and it ends in an idea slightly different from yours, so I'll append it here: I must admit that I am concerned by the new TOS of Renderosity. Okay, you may announce that only dog pictures are allowed in the future. We have no right and no device to change that. But you may allow some questions: 1. Sexual acts are not allowed: I made the experience that a kiss can be a very intensive sexual act. Are pictures with kisses forbidden in the future? Or is the clarification of the TOS not really clear? 2. I read that the clarification of the TOS is not a way to protect non-adults. It shall improve the professionality of the pictures. Now I've visited a lot of professional, succesful galleries and even museums which obviously don't have restrictons like the new TOS. Hence I cannot fathom this argument. 3. I think the problem is that the public practice of some sexual acts really isn't forbidden in the western culture and even in western art. Ok... in islamic countries they are forbidden. Maybe you don't want offend islamic visitors? 4. The Renderosity shop sells objects and poses which are not allowed to picture in the community. May I see in this a slight touch of hypocrisy? I am from Germany. Today we have a liberal paradigma of what art can be. But in the previous century we passed a regrettable era in which art was clearly defined and was set apart from "Entarteter Kunst", in english "perverted art". I do not hope that your try of improvement of the community's professionality ends up in a distinction like that. How about a new tag? I think it might be no technical problem to install it besides the 'nudity' and 'violence'. Something like: 'Kinky' or 'Somehow incorrect'? No, this is no joke. Why not?

Oh sorry, now I see the picture #numbers... kidding %}

Now I know that I'm a winner too! Wow, thank you for congrats and prizes! Err... most of the entries didn't have a signature so I don't know which picture is the winner (although I have some specultations)...?

The cat is - like all characters on the picture - inhabitant of Gilgat, which is placed in a different kind of world than ours. I have no complaints if there is a similarity between this cat and a rat or a 'zwysel'.

He is the father of the male lover and he'll find them early enough (or too early - this depends on the point of view).

Here is my contribution to the 'nude'-theme. 'In the heat of the night' Nudes with composition (I hope so) ... dedicated to Bernie and Rivers.
