"Nude" means nude.

Brian Mottershead wrote on mar 28, 2006; 06:13 a.m.In answer to your question, non-nude photographs aren't nudes. Nudes aren't non-nudes. Non-flowers are not flowers. Non-insects are not insects. Non-X are not X. We can debate nudes, but one thing sure is that a nude has no clothes, or at least is missing some strategic clothes. So clothed subjects are non-nudes. Which means they are not nudes. Also, a nude is a human being. Not a horse. Not a dolphin. Not a plant. Not a jungle-gym. Or any other non-human. Even if they don't have a stitch on. This last point seems to escape some of our nude posters. That is, our non-nudes posters.

To sum up, non-humans, even stitchless, and stitchful humans are non-nudes; they aren't nudes; non-nudes are they; they aren't members of the nudes category; they don't belong in it. Oh, no. Over and out. Out and over.

That action is ejecting them from the site. There's no ambiguity here. Post non-nudes in the nudes category and you're likely to suffer the consequences.
