Rejecting for bad thumbs?

[tortus32]

I decided to make up a new rejection email for submitters who select a thumb to represent the gallery that contains nudity or sexual content. Is this wrong? I'm trying to make my TGP pages 2257 compliant without switching to text links.

I was editing thumbs for quite a bit but I got tired of selecting a new '2257 Friendly' thumb for almost every gallery submitted.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thumbs can have nudity and still be 2257 compliant, but they cannot be sexually explicit as defined in 18 U.S. 2256 section 2, excluding subsection E and simulated.

I have a similar policy on my TGP that thumbs may not be sexually explicit. I have to "fix" about one in five, but hardcore content isn't all that prevalent in the high heels or boots catagories.

Oh ok. I thought if there was any nudity at all on your site you had to have records and crap. That sounds much easier to deal with for me!

Thanks,

As far as I understand it nude tits are just fine, close-up snatch isn't, and girl licking a dildo isn't either, but I don't know about a dildo caressing a hard nipple...

Anyhow: at this stage I don't care! So many sites I'm either competing with, or trading traffic with, who're still showing full-on penetration in their thumbnails - why should I be the first to censor my own pages (particularly since I'm not an US citizen).

As I have stated before: I believe this will blow over, too! I have seen so many restrictions come and go, and so many people panicking about it (just to revert to the old ways some weeks down the track).

Ok screw it then - I vow from this moment on not to reject for what may seem to be a naughty thumb, according to the new 2257 bullshit!

Thanks!
