I turned "genitals OFF" in the poser figure that I was using in my
rotoscope, the image I just posted.  Hope this didn't violate any
policy.........

I saw nothing distasteful in your image. I don't think I have ever seen
an image posted here that would be considered distasteful or not presented
artistically. I think the intent of this particular policy is to prevent
images that would be considered pornographic from being posted here.

Hmm, I think he was being sarcastic.

In that case, a very subtle sarcasm, I'd say. I have never thought of this
subject, and concluded that one really _has_ to be careful with ones
postings; graphical or not. So, I didn't interpret it as sarcasm. But of
course, as I am two out of three times, roughly, might be wrong. :)

Simen.

I agree. If I had thought it was sarcasm I might have ignored it. However
it sounded like he really wanted an honest answer so I provided him with
one. There was a remote chance that others might similarly be confused
with the wording and I wanted to make sure they understood the intent
of the policy if there was any doubt. As a private, family oriented, news
server we feel we have a responsibility to keep it clean for everyone to
use without them feeling offended by it's contents.
