Posted Nudity in Art

I put some thought into this issue.

Art is art. I'm no fan of censorship in any form for willing participants, but we have to take the "willing" part of that into consideration. I think we can do something here that will befit the artists and mature viewers as well as the viewership that is under 18 and/or would not prefer to see nudity while browsing.

If you have a piece of art that you would like displayed on these forums that contains nude genitalia or very suggestive content (don't be an idiot, you know what I mean), post a link to the image instead of showing the image directly along with a disclaimer. This way, you can show respect for those that don't want to see nudity while being able to display it for those that do.

Failing to adhere to this will result in an infraction.

Use common sense, there are no loopholes. If your image wears the uniform of a piece of porn, it will be considered porn, whether or not it is intended as such. Suggestive images fall under this category as well.

Moderators will enforce it as they see fit. I trust their judgment, and so should you. We're here to make sure that the forums remain as a tool for you to use to communicate, and we feel that this is necessary.
