Well, besides my personal opinion, this is not my forum, I did not made the rules. But if you want to be a part of a community you need to act according to it's rules. If you don't like them, there are thousands of alternate forums on the web and you are always welcome to build up your own forum and make up your own rules.

However, as long as I am a moderator on this forum and see members breaking it's rules, it is my duty to inform them and get the issue solved. Since even moderators are only humans with different points of view there will be some who tolerate something others don't or just haven't got the time or the nerve to keep track of the different cases - we are all doing this voluntarily, we are not getting paid for it and have to do it in our spare time.

So, I did inform you about the nudity rule. You can read the details about the rule here:

I will have to raise your warnlevel if you continue posting nudity.

That said, personally I agree with what you said in most ways. And I always said that nudity in fashion and in art are - mostly - far from being degrading or pornish and therefore should be allowed. But since there hadn't been a change in the rules, I am obliged to act within their range or leave the forum (which I won't). You see, I myself got a 10% warning ages ago for I did know about the nudity rule, but thought "Hey, no one can say something against tasteful nude pics or a see-through-dress". Apparently I was wrong. Since then I just textlink and warn about it. No big deal, is it.

well, i wrote this message before reading your answer on the other thread. the fact is, i already asked many time to allowed nudity and nobody told me about the sponsor and as you can see this is not say in the rules. the fact is, why moderators have never been able to tell me this simple thing who take like 30 secondes to write it.

and because i saw other members don't respect the other rules like the pictures size and never had troubles and when i asked to the moderators why they also didn't moderate those members i had no answer. so i judged if the other members are free to make what they want, why i shouldn't ? all the member should be eqal and not just few member who should be moderate.

and since monthsi posted everything i wanted and moderators had never removed my stuff even the ones they saw! and that's why i wrote you this answer.

Well, that's not good, of course the mods should answer every one of your questions when possible.

Since there aren't many mods and we're all just volunteers, we need the members to help us and report any rule breaking they witness. There is a report button on the left side of a post. The staff will be notified about the reported post. But since BZ continuously got problems with this function, it's always safer to contact a member of the staff directly. Or leave a message here: http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?showforum=1 - there are also a lot of questions who got already answered.
