If you are unsure (or can't say), just skip that question and go onto the next. None of the questions are required, so if you don't have opinion on something, you can just skip it.

You've addressed all the the issues very well. The nudity thing? I'll post a E-mail I got from a art site that allowes it.

Dear members, Certain changes have just been made to the site to restrict access to certain content. Our credit card processor has recently made policy changes, and they will no longer allow us to display the following anywhere on the site: -- Pornography depicting an individual being killed - "Snuff"-- Pornography depicting nonconsensual sex - this includes bondage as well as individuals appearing to be drugged, asleep, hypnotized, raped, etc.-- Pornography depicting sadistic or masochistic abuse-- Pornography depicting urination, defecation, or menstruation As you already know, we have prohibited the display of any pedophilia (child sex) and bestiality (animal sex) on our site since its inception. The software has been changed to restrict access to the content described above. However, we are in the process of changing service providers so that we can remove some or all of these restrictions. Changing service providers may take up to one month. All images meeting the above criteria, along with their hits and comments, have been preserved. You simply cannot see the images at this time. If our new service provider allows less restrictive access, we will restore access to these images at that time. We will not know the new rules until we have completed the change to a new service provider. At Renderotica, we firmly believe in the right of every adult to communicate on any subject that is not restricted by the law. However, credit card service providers are free to make other choices and we must abide by those choices if we are to stay in business. Please use the buttons at the bottom of the image display page to report any images that violate these new rules. We performed a computer-based procedure to disallow access to images of the kind noted above, but this is dependent on the images being honestly and correctly classified. Please help us in our attempt to fully comply with these new rules and report any images which violate the updated TOS. The moderators will then mark the images appropriately so they cannot be seen. Do not attempt to upload images which violate these new rules. As a reminder, the Fetish category is defined as follows: Rubber, latex, sexual quirks like feathers, shoes, cosplay, roleplay etc. Do not attempt to get around the new rules by classifying images as Fetish if they violate the above rules. We have also taken some images and items out of the store until we can get clarification on what might or might not be allowed there. Please be patient with us.

My question is, and will always be, where do you draw the line.

Vivian Allen 30 Aug 2006

Thank you AW staff. I filled out the survey.

joost tielemans 31 Aug 2006

Thanks A.W Staff...Done..

I think nudity, full frontal or not, but not depicting any type of sexual arousal or sexual act is where the line should be drawn.

Male or female nudity...too many art students are required to do nudes as part of their classes, and it's silly that something allowed in a learning atmosphere isn't allowed to be posted here.

New mods may be in order if that change does take place...we'd need mods with a more 'liberal' taste in art, so that acceptable nudes aren't deleted due to personal tastes. =)
