Contests are no longer allowed in the galleries, they must be run in the contest area.
BUT
The galleries have the option to flag images for nudity and/or violence. Many people don't want to be confronted with violence or nudity, and young people should not be, so these flags are a very useful feature. I believe these options are even legally required, since Renderosity does not prevent minors from viewing the site and becoming a member.

BUT

THE CONTEST AREA DOES NOT HAVE THESE OPTIONS!

So if a contest is being held, it should automatically default to "no nudity/no violence." It is nice that the moderators and admins are willing to allow nudity/violence in a contest, but I'm afraid Renderosity can find itself in major legal trouble.
A change of the contest area is in order. A contest as a whole must be able to be flagged. That way contest initiators have the same freedom of subjects and requirements they had in the gallery, and everyone's arse is covered.
