As I was hit by the Ban Hammer recently, I need to make sure not to put anything in my Rendo Gallery in future, which might get me permanently banned. So I had a closer look at the "Terms of Service" and now I'm quite befuddled about what would be allowed to be posted to the gallery and what wouldn't. Exchanging posts with one of the censors.. sorry.. Moderators was no real help either, as the answer was kinda like "it depends..."

So here I will give some examples of stuff that I might want to post sometime in the future, but that need to be cleared first. Please check the Terms of Service [here]https://www.renderosity.com/mod/wiki/?policies&terms so You can see what I'm writing about below.

One of my pictures that got censored away showed a nude female licking the tip of a carrot. When asking the moderator about the reason for the censoring I didn't get a real answer. And there wasn't any clarification if the picture would have been okay if it had been an ice cream cone the female had licked. Or if it had been a male that did the licking of the carrot/ice cream cone. Or if licking anything at all would be considered porn automatically, because the female tongue was considered part of her genitals.

"...any picture containing ...chains or handcuffs... to constrain a person is subject to review or removal" means to me, that I can't post a picture of a cop arresting someone by putting handcuffs on that person. Or at least I would risk to have that picture removed and get banned because the censor doesn't see what's happening in the picture, but only what his/her imagination says? A captive in a medieval prison chained to the wall... Sure worth to get banhammered away, right?

"image containing a ball gag.." So how about a ring gag? Or a piece of cloth stuffed in the mouth? Banhammer or not?

"BDSM...." so... who defines BDSM? A girl in a kinky maid outfit getting verbally reprimanded by her "master" clearly defines as BDSM for me, or doesn't it? Banhammer for it?

A bunch of shinto followers carrying around a big - 5 feet tall - male reproduction organ... porn or religous freedom? (google Kanamara-Matsui for details)

A picture depicting some fetish clad persons using waterpistols in the form of male reproduction organs to sprinkle the watching crowd at a Christopher Street Day parade in Berlin, Cologne or anywhere else... Porn?

So do I have to imagine every whatsoever deranged thought a censor might have to avoid getting banned for something that could be shown on TV in every civilized country of the world (with some exclusions due to different definitions of "civilized")?

Some clarification would be greatly appresiated. Until then I probably restrict myself to only posting nice fluffy bunnies - without carrots of course...
