I agree with you, Poserkatz.  I use that place as a 3d art materials search engine, a source of tutorials, and another gallery to post my pictures in.  I have met a couple of nice people there, whom I invited to join us here.  Other than that, the place feels like a wilderness to me with a few good artist here and there.  I like review the works of those artists.

While they said that there would be a grace period of a few weeks before they start enforcing the new rules, I have also noticed people who had their accounts banned already.  In the case of one artist, I first saw the work of day before yesterday posted on another site after the images were banned from Renderosity.  After seeing those images, I thought they were very well done, so I searched for the artist's gallery at Renderosity to add to my favorite artist list.  Guess what?  I found nothing but an empty gallery and homepage.  I sent a message to the artist asking if the same username was being used at both websites.  I founf out in the reply that gallery images had already been deleted by the site and the account has been permantly banned, for violating the new TOS.  What happened to the grace period?  In the reply I was also given the url for the artist's own website.  There I saw some of the images that had been in the gallery at Renderosity, the images that they were worried about was only a fraction of the works of this artist.  And the artist had been removing the images from the gallery as they demanded at the very time that the account was locked out!

I have seen such refugee pictures on several sites, and you know what?  They are all beautiful, with no "filth" content at all.  In fact, the religious in churches showing the infant Jesus are far more explicit than any of the refugee images.

I am so glad that we have such a place as PF is, for a homebase.  Thanks Posy and Tormentor.
