A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Opinion: posting shots of unidentifiable persons (alien.top)

Context: I recently posted a landscape shot with ant sized people on the distant cliffside (not the subject matter, purely coincidental). They were nude, but no body parts, face, belongings were identifiable, even when zoomed in.
I received a ban. Do you think this was justified?

Go Photoshop. Paint some clothes on the nude people.

I really can't tell if they are nude or not. If you say they are I believe you, but they could just be wearing skimpy outfits.

My point exactly. It's not offensive and not even easily determined.

Seriously? I really had to search to find the person! That's ludicrous.

It makes me think of this clip from Brass Eye about a photo of a normal-looking hillside that would send a paedophile into a frenzy because there was a child in it somewhere...

It just makes me sad the amount of censorship out there.
