I think LL is trying exclude pornographic imagery, and not tasteful nudity. The frescoes in the Sistine chapel are full of nudity,  but they are not considered pornographic

Nudity is nudity.  I don't think Tal...Billie's gratuitous naked pics compare to the art that is the Sistine Chapel.

No need to steer clear when you're at the center....again.

Well I guess you could always make a new avatar that looks EXACTLY like your old one and pretend to be "new".  Drama solved!

I was talking about those who are not in the center, who just have to jump in and make comments, while plenty of others find ways to just move on and ignore it.

SO a kind of interesting thing happened, yesterday in this thread i posted a picture of my avi standing in a field with flowers wearing a long white dress. I took several pictures in the field, some with the dress some without. I posted a couple dress pictures to the Flickr page for the sim, but did not post any of the dress lacking pictures, because the group rules said nudity was not allowed. A few hours after i posted, in my Flickr notifications I get a notice that the Admin for the group had changed the rules, And he sent me an invite to include this picture. 

Not sure that means the rules for this thread has changed.

I love all the artistry of the pictures here.  There are so many I wish I could love.  Here's my first attempt in this forum.

Adding a picture would help...

The creator call this their Vintage Spring outfit, but to me it just shouts summer.

I never said the rules for this thread changed, but as others have pointed out, pictures showing nudes with none of the bits covered have been posted here many times before. I was only sharing that a picture of mine had influenced someone to rethink his Flickr group. Why people have to read more into what I say here is beyond me. If I didn't actually say it then I didn't mean to say it.

I know who said it, and who you were replying to. I just want to make it clear that I do not share his opinions.

   No, the moderators have been pretty clear in the past - doesn't matter if you've shot it in high-contrast B&W with artistic lighting; if there be nipples, side-boobage, too much butt (don't know how much is 'too much' though), genitalia, heavy petting, etc, it's a no-no.

   I hardly think nude virtual selfies can be compared to renaissance frescoes. 

Relative artistic merit is irrelevant to my point, actually. I was simply pointing out that nudity and pornography are different. Opinions do tend to vary over time though. Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine chapel were considered pornographic by some at the time.

   I never claimed otherwise. But the rules don't say 'no pornography', they say 'no nudity'.

   Again, you can't seriously compare anyone's work here with that of Michelangelo. And it's not about what you or I think, it's about what rules Linden Lab have written and enforce on their platform. They could write 'no hedgehogs' into the rules if they wanted to, neither your or my opinion on that would matter a squat.

I'm totally agreeing with you. And I wasn't comparing anyone's work to anyone else's. Media art can't match the handiwork of the Masters to begin with.

But hedgehogs are cute.  The pics being debated...are not.
