if a 3d render, yes...

complex is not always best and yet even as simple as it seems, it is correct and well rendered

I feel its more of a parents responsibility to keep their kids from doing things that they don't like.

this phrase is like saying if a person walks out side in the nude. its the parents fault if their kids see them ..its everyones responsibility to temper their freedom with a little morality.
with internet freedom comes the responsibility to shield our young to the unseemly side of the world til they are old enough to understand them...it takes a village to raise a balanced child.


this like only a handfull of sites has become a site where i can (as a family) surf with my kids without the fear of seeing drug or adult material. it soso nice to find a site where u can go with ur kids online and not worry abt exposeing them to such materials...if u want an adult section then maybe poll the admins to set aside an adult section specifically for those type of images.. but dont mix them with images set out for users all ages...

Oh...I guess there is no point in working on a sixties theme skin? So much for freedom of speech and expression!...Once again the people are oppressed...

And how about the glorification of government agencies on this site...some of the biggest murderers known to man...thats ok?

ok this i am offended by. my father (like his father,and most my family) were in the military. quite a few died defending the principals in which our country was founded. my father in 95 died of cancer due to exposure of agent orange in vietnam. i will probably succumb to the same fate, hence the agent orange (by military admission) can be passed to the future generations of off spring.

the many men and women of the armed forces serve with the distinguished desire to protect freedom. even your freedom to bash them). so unless uve ever stood up to defend any thing (other than ur ability to offend ) dont EVER sugest they are any thing like drug dealers or porn peddlers.

Damn.......I missed all the fun.......

Same here Leo >
Working overtime it's cutting into my 'fun time' @ WC.
Im gonna have to talk to my boss about this >

temper their freedom with a little morality.

morality integrity, ethics, chastity; conformity to accepted rules of conduct

which is totally subjective...

I would assume that rules would depict what is socially acceptable and what is not.
It does not promote drug use covertly nor overtly in my opinion.

What does is what it is, for those who find it to be acceptable and download it to use as they will, great.

For those who do not, they do not have to download it and can pass it by.

Some towns in the heart land of the USA burned Harry Potter books over their perception of what is morally correct.

Does that mean that every book store in those town had to not only remove but ban anything to do with Harry Potter?

I can tell you from personal experience that censorship in it's mildest and simplistic form is the is the most dangerous of all.

That is exactly what it would be to not have rules in place before hand which explicatively direct that no such submission will even be taken into consideration.

Otherwise you leave the Moderator's in the position of being painted into the proverbial corner, or up one stinky creek without a paddle.

On one side you have the person who submits who feels they are being wrongly denied the right to submit work because of political reasons and such.

On the other hand you have those who will claim that the site is morally corrupt for even considering if not accepting such walls.

Moderation was and has been and always will be a contentious necessary need on this site and all others.

What one finds as art another will find a waste of bandwidth.


Moderation temperance, quality of being moderate, instance of being moderated

temperance moderation, "restraint"

I would and will not download it, but that does not mean I think it is beyond the means of moderation and as such, considering it passed, then it is site specifically acceptable.

Guess I am saying that I will not loose any sleep over it being on the site and my kids had drugs stuck in their face in grade school, a picture on a web site isn't making me loose any sleep.

mmmm....

it isn't rocket science....

but I can make my position a lot clearer...

I am not a moderator and I do not decide what is or what is not acceptable.

If you happen to change the opinion of what is acceptable, then power to you.

I for one do not hold issue with it one way or the other and am more than willing to leave it up to those whom are charged with deciding on what is acceptable to do it...

sorry abt the rant. i have a few pet peves .. the main one is the push for allowing wrong things cause they are becomeing socially acceptable.. if a guy wants to kill u cause he wants ur shoes, should we post a poll as to wether its socially acceptable and go with societys decision? or should we do whats rite and stop him?

killing someone over shoes and posting a wall paper is a bit of a jump when considering the decay of social grace and the social contract one enters when in public...

I do undertand what your saying and do agree to some extent but do not find this to be a case of someone taking a chipping hammer to the social fabric of society at large...

Yeah I get sick of commercials from truth about cigarettes when alchol kills more people.

kona, cars kill more people and you don't see commercials telling you not to drive, you see commercials telling you to buy a car.
