[tomblover]

Then, I'm curious...

Would this picture be acceptable? [PM'd to you]

I'd say the second picture is definitely OK according to the new rules, but the first one is not... yet. Make that coloured strip wider and we'll consider it

Finally thank you

[XNAaraL]

Thanks for clear rules.

The original:

This is not topless http://www.totalvideogames.com/Tomb-...oft-14977.html
"I was asked to do Lara nude. This was as close as I would allow myself to go," Gard commented on his site, referring to the image opposite. The picture was posted late 2009 after Gard had decided to leave Eidos' Tomb Raider studio, Crystal Dynamics, having recently been promoted to the position of Lead Designer.

However, that's not the original (on Toby's official deviantART).

so i can post this?

[Mod edit: Problematic image removed]

[Mytly]

What's the point of asking if you can post something by posting it in public? If you really want to ask, PM me or another mod.

Also, I think it pushes the boundaries a bit. Cover up the boobs more thoroughly and it will be ok.

Finally!

I propose the banning of XNAaraL's program, the ModProtector [link]:

XNALara [link] and it's models [link] ~ [link] are under "fair use"- venturing out and using ModProtector changes this dramatically and unfortunately, allows XNALara to take a dark turn and eventually become totally and completely illegal to use; many users and models becoming subject to now copyrighted material- which they, you, we- do not own (because they have been "protected"). While you may think it's "no big deal" and that it "doesn't hurt anyone", using or posting those files or works which are derived from ModProtector, is infact a breach of copyright law. Even if the models and materials you want to use are protected by copyright, you won't need permission if your intended use constitutes a "fair use". However, ModProtector takes away this permission- and therefore should be inaccesible for users on this forum, and/or for all the XNALara community. Unless people want to suffer the consequences.

"...take not from others to such an extent and in such a manner that you would be resentful if they so took from you..." ~ McDonald, "Non-infringing Uses," 9 Bull. Copyright Society 466 (1962).

In other words, don't protect a model that has never and will never belong to you.
