Moving back to admin.terms since this is not an off topic debate.
The images do not *clearly* violate TOS if they have been moderated.
Considering the size and obviousness of the lettering, it can’t be argued that
the admins didn’t see it, and as such they are implicitly stating they are not
in violation of that site’s TOS. I’ve seen far worse here on Lugnet, on MAJ,
and on Brickshelf that no one has complained about.
As for your statements about “growing incivility in our culture,” that doesn’t
really apply here and just seems designed to push people’s buttons.

Which secion of the TOS do those images specifically violate? Perhaps I’m
missing it, but I didn’t see any that those were *clearly* in violation of.

From the TOS:
“You agree to not use the Service to:
(a) upload, post or otherwise transmit any Content that is unlawful, harmful,
threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene,
libelous, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or
otherwise objectionable;
(b) harm minors in any way;”
I think 4 letter expletives can reasonabley considered “vulgar”,
“objectionable”, and harmful to minors.
I realize that some people use expletives simply as punctuation when they
speak, but that doesn’t make their common utilization any less civil; it
merely reflects the growing incivility of our culture.
JOHN
I’ll set the follow-up to .debate.
