shear clothing rule seeing nipple area ok here on this contest?

Hi Haylee, I think you are referring to my entry. Firstly, yes its shear clothing but I can assure you that there is no nipples showing!! The reason I'm so sure is that I photoshopped them out myself last month when I made this image my Avatar! If you take a closer look, you will see that I have removed my nipples out and cloned the flower detail from my clothing onto the area!! So there's absolutely no nipples showing! Here's the original image with my nipples showing so you can see the clear difference: https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3905/146 … f20a_c.jpg (18+)

Secondly, I am not a Mod but a Gatekeeper. I have no 'powers'. I am sorry your image got DQ, but other Hosts from different contests can report images they feel break the rules. I have no control over them. I just came back from a long holidays so I was not aware of which images have been DQ while I was away or who have been reporting them. I think that whoever reported your image did it because it looks darker in the pubic area. I personally wouldn't have reported it myself, but all the images reported are being reviewed by a Mod. They remove entries they feel break the rules. We, Hosts and Gatekeepers can not do this.

If my image was breaking the site rules, I'm sure it wouldn't have been accepted as an avatar. So no.. I am not cheating and I am not breaking the rules. I run these contests for fun, I hardly enter my contests anymore and I honestly don't know why I would break my own rules!! I am just here for fun and to network with talented people like yourself.

And thirdly, for future reference, if you have a problem in this contest, please message me directly and don't clutter this thread.

Thank you.

Marlene ~ Contest Host

I understand both sides, but I am kind of with Haylee Lynn on this one because I have used that picture several times and never had trouble with it. It seems like someone went in a reported a bunch of pictures just to better their chances. I don't feel Moderaters/Gatekeepers are cheating, I just think there is one person out there that may be playing it unfair. If my lace leotard got reported, than why didn't your lace shirt?

There is really no need to create such an issue out of this. All you have to do is play it safe if you're not sure if the image is 18+ and use the link to the image. I've had images DQ'd before that I didn't feel were 18+. It happens. That's how we learn. However, some images are clearly 18+. Be familiar with what is considered a mature image. *Just because in image is showing transparent clothing doesn't necessarily mean it's a mature image.
