I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who works so hard for a good climate! For a good climate and good coexistence, it takes more than just painting “beautiful, fascinating pictures”. Thank you for your tireless efforts!!
I think the gallery should have a report this post button, same as the forum. Not just for reporting explicit images but for reporting ai images, copyrighted images and works that are stolen.  Edit: And adverts we've had a few of them in the gallery too, forgot about them.  I just think if the gallery were moderated it would help keeps things pleasant all round.

Collette, I think I know you from many moons ago. Am I right? I was overseas in the army. If not, sorry for the mistake.  Other than that, I find your input in problems of this site have been true and concise. Also, you have not given way to the badgering of people you don’t know. You are your own woman, so to speak
Finally the ghosts of Picasso, Manet, Klimt, Goya et al. are barred from the gallery :)  And if in doubt about pubic hair, do as Manet and add a furry animal to the painting :)
Not forgetting Schiele ...
Hi Guys  reading your comments I can see that you have come in at the tail end of a  situation that has been extremely unpleasant.  
Offensive! One would say it is all entertainment, not in the usual sense.      Nietzsche said ‘everything is entertainment.’ Paul Weller counteracted in a modern way. He sang, ‘lights going out and a kick in the b—-s. ‘ Yes, the record was called, That’s Entertainment.Comical as Weller is, he’s right.  What your mind focuses can deflect from what is truly happening. Pain. Annoyance. Discomfort. All everyday stuff, but worse these days. Thing is, common sense will always prevail, only sometimes it is too late… that is a modern experience more-often-than-not.  If I were to predict anything,  the world would go back to earlier times This would be because of the complexity of modern day issues. On another worldly scale, things are changing for the worst. Disease and pestilence, war, is the start. However, we still cling on to what we have as if it a matter of life or death. Change isn’t change anymore, even though it seems like ‘change’ for the now… but we should be a reverting back to old fashioned values, away from hackers, modern diseases (same thing) and AI. Trouble is, capitalism forces us to keep hold of what we have, and extort more at whatever the cost.  Is that mad enough for you all? My advice for everyone is to think with common sense to understand the solution of things. Sorry for writing, I’m always on my iPhone .  May I say, my writing is copywrited, art also… from the minute I put pen to paper, so to speak.  On a darker note, I don’t like Putin, but he is right, the west has been too liberal. We need much simpler control. Simpler is not a word in the old fashioned dictionary.  Ha. Although there is nothing jovial about all this…

Martin some of what you said is relevant but unfortunately you then start discussing Putin who has nothing to do with this discussion at all as far as I’m aware . 
Listen, the hacker has what he wants. Your site is now clear of me, so hopefully your problems will now go
