I wonder if it would have made a difference if the default pose on the arm mod wasn't...well...that one
Because there's other ways to position the arms and they're not sexually suggestive, and even when the *OHSHITJOCKITCH* pose is in question, depending on your attire it could also not be a fenangling non-existent bits pose.
Copying this from the other thread, because I do like guidelines, and I'd like to have some general sense of consistency, but where do we start? How do we even start it?
Perversion, I feel is in the eye of the beholder on the nasty. That's the problem with these types of items, and it's super frustrating. What one perceives as lewd, one doesn't and even the explanations behind the appropriateness can leave both parties befuddled. I know for sure my first reaction seeing the pose was laughing cos it still looks like someone's got a wicked set of jock itch.
After all, these arm mods are not set in stone. You can move your hands around and get vastly different positions. I dicked around with it and using only three other items I managed to make my avi look like he had his hands on his hips or had a brainfart and trying to remember something. So no, it's not impossible to use that item, especially the arm mod, and have it be used other than explicit.

Like I said before, I personally don't have a problem with the item (well, it's more like I don't care for it since I don't have a use for it.)
There should really be a clear defination between the mods and the artists when something is too sexually suggestive by Gaia standards. I remember reading somewhere that what one mod seem as too sexual suggestive might not be so to another.
I think, to have a hive mind about what can and cannot pass, they need to have some sort of guidelines to see what is safe to do or not.
I'm not blaming the artist or anything. Hey, if they allow them to push the boundaries and not get told "hey, this is too much...tone it down" then they will continue to do it. This item won't definately be the last of it's kind unless there's a certain standard that they have to upkeep.

- »»» Personally, I DO have a problem with the items. I feel they're trashy and tasteless garbage that belong on Tentacl more than Gaia. And they're WAY too easy to make sexual, not that the poses, item names, and descriptions don't already do that well enough on their own.
I also find it really stupid that you can walk around with a female avatar that has a bare chest yet a panty bulge in a drawing is considered "inappropriate." Gaia's standards are really getting hypocritical and contradictory and it looks bad. Really, really bad.
It just feels like, ever since Tentacl opened, Gaia's "standards" have dropped severely. I remember the uproar about Alruna's Rose, and that item is so tame now compared to these (Kama and Punishing).

I definately agree with this! You can make the arm mods not be so sexually suggestive if you decide to be creative with them.
Yea, it'll definately be hard to have some set of guidelines. This sort of thing is easier said than done. Maybe they can have some sort of majority rules situation when approving the item to be released? However, the people who do let the items through might have a different mindset from the mods. Then again, if the items get put through, do the mods have no choice but leave the people alone that uses the items in the way the artist suggest? Can they give a warning if the avatar goes beyond? It all boils down to personal opinion either way. Lose/lose situation I guess....

And I respect your opinion. Not everyone will takt the same thing the same way.
I just wish that everyone (well, the mods and the people who approves the items) are on the same page about these things because, from the lookds of it, they're clearly not.

- »»» Precisely. It's painfully obvious that everyone's on a different page and that's causing a lot of confusion within the userbase because one person says yes, another says no.
