Not sure if this is formerly addressed somewhere, so I apologize for asking.
But can you define terms for nudity as well?
I've seen a few photos on my time of gaia of topless females covering themselves up with either their arms or hands. These to me fall under sexually explicit, but I feel like if it's not written out, people will still challenge it anyway.

Thanks for the update! <3

Prosaiche linked to this on the first page. It's Gaia's stance, among other things, about that precise thing. smile

I wanted to link THIS, which the the GD's explanation of sexually explicit. Some users with shops don't know this at all! This should help so people can be a bit more informed on what is explicit!

Totally overlooked that.
Thanks.

I have a thread in the SF about this situation. And from the entire thread, there have been cases where we discussed about some pictures where, in the mods eyes, perfectly fine, while in an other's, they were perfectly acceptable.

We even got into a bit of a debate with a forum mod about those pictures.

I think you should create a rule prohibiting people from posting pictures of themselves in their underwear completely. And when I say underwear I mean bra, panties, and boxers.

We don't know how old these people are.

[This Isnt Sparta]

Its about time Gaia stepped up to further moderate these types of shops. Im surprised no angry parent or authority figure has yet tried to take Gaia to court because of this.

Usually, unless it's plainly obvious against TOS, a mod would get a 2nd or 3rd opinion if needed. The gather of opinions would determine if it's too severe of an offense, or something petty that should be just warned.

We don't know how old these people are.

Gaia is a 13+ site. In most media, even if they are 13-18, they are shown in bikinis, bras,etc.
This is the only reason (I assume) why gaia does allow it.

When it comes down to it, some cleavage shots would show the same as a bra would.
You'd have to get really on the line when it came to how much being shown.

Also, even though age might matter to some, it is your right to look and buy signs.
If you're offended by the age or worried, then simply allow the person to hear your opinion, or ignore it.

Gaia does state that they are not responsible for any pictures/material posted on this site.

If anything, myspace and facebook would be the first to go!

//Zetta and I are old buds <3

& I've read the last 5 pages to date as of now.

When it does come down to it, Gaia does state they cannot control what is posted. People do make very explicit signs, and still get paid... and some even get away with it!
Even though I do agree with the age/bra being similar to underear-- then you'd just have to cut down on males showing their full chest, cleavage,and more.

Most of my shirts show the exact same cleavage/breast as my bra would.
