The rule came into play account of the old CC processor that had a no adult content clause... it was also the reason that the providers could not place rates or certain acronyms in their ads.
Here is a tread talking about the changes... it's a short 6 page read.

With the newer CC processor the rule is now pretty much defunct (IMO) but is still listing in the forum guidelines and is enforced as such.
The interesting thing is that even though it is listed in the guidelines...
Quote:
#12 - Respect the posted "Image Standards" which apply to our public coed forums. (including Showcase) In short, images which depict subjects which are topless are allowed, but below the waist nudity which displays exposed genitalia or images depicting pornography are to be avoided. Additionally, posting URL links to external sites depicting pornography is not permitted. (use RTM to report images which you feel may not be in compliance)

The posted
"Image Standards" are hard to find, account the posted image standard that this guideline use to refer to has been removed.
When you click on the
Forum Guideline link there use to be three (3) post on the thread... one post from each of the owners.
If my memory serves me the post from T-Bone included what was known as the "Image Standards".
His post and Becky's have both been removed for what ever reason... not sure when they were removed or why.
