As it stands now, the guild's rules 6 and 7 state (respectively):
"For the love of god, keep your clothes on." (ie, no nudity)
"No sexual references or innuendos."

Now, as we all know, Gaia's TOS states that all posts on the site are to be kept at a PG-13 level, which apparently does not include language (unless it's *****). And, if you've seen any PG-13 movie in the past twenty years, you know there's a good deal that's in there, including smoking, cursing, and loads upon loads of sexual innuendo. (Thirteen-year-olds are horny little bastards.)

This brings about the other issue: nudity. Tasteful, artistic nudity is allowed in the art forums. And, bingo, this guild is a private art forum in its own way. The actual rule is stated as such:
"Try to keep your images PG-13. Tasteful nudity in the art forums is allowed on a case-by-case basis, but on the whole, it is a good idea to cater to a range of audiences. This includes the very young."
..Not to mention people who are at work.

So the question we put to you, our guild members, is this:

Oops, why did I put quotes around tasteful?

1. Talk of sex or sexual innuendo wouldn't offend me. In highschool we called it "LTT" AKA Lunch Table Talk~ my sophomore year a junior friend made a bet that anything said could be turned sexual, and a sophomore friend said it wasn't possible (this all happened during our lunch hour, thus why it became Lunch Table Talk)...he quickly discovered he was wrong...and his dreams of a pure world dissolved very quickly. ^^*

2. Tasteful nudity doesn't bug me. I've seen tons of naked men and women throughout the various figure classes I've taken and anatomy books I own!

I'm fine with it, too. I've taken figure art drawing, and seen countless movies.. PG 13 really is flexible. I'm sure as artists we're all capable of understanding tasteful artistic nudity. I guess it would be good idea to have warnings, as a safety.

Honestly, innuendos do not offend me. In my psychology class, we're taught that sexual behaviors are normal, even in very young children.

On the subject of nudity, I don't know if you've noticed, but these days if you have internet you know what a naked person looks like and you probably know every position in the karma sutra. I know I do. >__> So I think nudity to an extend is all right. Nothing too graphic, of course.

I guess thread by thread warnings would work, so the younger members parents don't think they're looking up porn or some fail-adult thought like that. :/

I'm cool with foul language and artistic nudity.
