Forum T’s and C’s.
“b. Inappropriate content:
a. Content containing primarily the following subjects and/or the promotion of one opinion over another are considered inappropriate.
a. Subjects include, but are not limited to, topics such as racism, sexism, religion, xenophobia or sexual preference.
b. Humiliating, derogatory, anti-social or inflammatory remarks aimed at any group of people, with or without the intent to start a group response are considered inappropriate. This includes racial remarks in the form of jokes, underhanded comments, and racial slurs.”
The main goal I believe they are aiming at is keeping peace, because of the sensitivity of the subject.
Still not being quiet though:
I’m a Christian and loving it!!!
But there’s even a second issue. As a new user, a person is not allowed to add any URL’s in any posts (even if they don’t block it, it’s still the policy agreed to when registering), but that’s easily solved as by their own policy:
“4. Limited Rights on new users. - These restriction
apply to prevent spam and bot attacks
a. New users are users with a post count below 10
(Hint: add some valuable critics to the “Forum Gallery“)
b. No URLs allowed in posts”
Andrew was very gracious to make an arrangement and my entry was sent in.
As this post has to contain something about Blender too, I’m liking the Ocean sim!
(^v^)
Yeah, I guess I’m technically in trouble then, because I’ve already posted my WIP of the Nativity, and in the past I’ve posted a WIP of a model of Noah’s ark. There’s another member who talks about his WIP model in connection with his WIP Christian movie. As far as I know, my threads have never been locked.
I’m guessing (IANAM - I am not a moderator) that the policy is to ban those who actively proselytize or flame on the site. However, IMO, they would be better served by a statement that they’ll ban anyone who’s being a jerk. This way, they wouldn’t be accused of censoring on narrow grounds (i.e. religion), and they’d have a broader, more effective policy. IANAL.

P.S. But if I do get banned in the next few days, we’ll know why.
<offtopic>Posting images of your work are fine, even if they are religiously centered. What they don’t want is people telling others what they should believe and stuff like that. So you will be fine.</offtopic>
A bit of a typical theme for this time of year don’t you think. Anyways, count me in. (sits down to think)
Hi Andrew, I want to enter in this comp but maybe this one are not allowed here because I always use Zbrush for organic modelling and texturing… Blender was responsible for lighting, composing, rendering (cycles), particles, and a little bit surface modelling.It took me almost 2 days from start to finished. Even if my work is rejected, I hope to receive some advices and critics. Goodbye and thanks for all your free tips and tutorials on BlenderGuru;).http://www.pasteall.org/blend/9977 for the blend http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=21502for the picture.
What is wrong with religious content? The competition is about CHRISTmas, it is centered around religion. If people can post nude characters (at least I think they can- I don’t look at the threads that say “Warning: Nudity”) then why can’t you post something religious?
How about we change it to “Holiday Contest”?
Either way, Despite the name, Christmas isn’t really considered a religious holiday. I don’t consider myself Christian, but I still celebrate it.
I’m putting up my Blend file for now, haven’t exactly rendered it yet, hope to post the rendering later , just don’t want to lose the .blend file. I may make a few changes before rendering, but it should be close enough to tell it’s the same.
will hopefully have my entry in very soon (still rendering)
