I think we can both agree with the point that e haven't done it. I don't feel that it's a stretch to feel that some type of judgment was at work, when we didn't, which is to say: always.

The OT forum is not where that pic was OK by the rules to begin with. That rule was always in place, it was just not enforced in OT. The OT forum is part of the C5 site and the rules apply to it all. We just don't like that the rules are now being applied equally.

To me, any argument that ignores the fact that we all really knew NSFW was never OK here in OT is just rationalization of behavior. It was tolerated, wink wink nudge nudge. And yeah, I liked those threads too. We poked the bear too often. I cannot say it's unfair.

I think we'll have to just agree to disagree with our opinions, but I still maintain that "NSFW" is really not a good way to describe anything.

For example, I would say that at my job, women in bikinis is Not Safe For Work (I didn't open that topic on my breaks at all for that reason). Regardless of it being NSFW, it was allowed, by the rules on this forum provided that "poses must not be suggestive or erotic in nature."... a side note, which can also be a point of debate... so we'll dodge that...

Again, I'm not saying that wasn't violated at all. But my point is that "NSFW" and "against the rules" are not the same thing. So if you say that I should know what is NSFW and that I should know I shouldn't post it, I disagree because some of those items are indeed allowed to be posted, while still not being safe to view in the workplace.
