Your whole argument seems to revolve around the idea that LUGNET will now have,
or already has, inappropriate "adult content" in the NG. If that is the case,
that's a violation of the TOS:
(do not) Post or transmit any unlawful, threatening, abusive, libelous,
defamatory, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane, or indecent
information of any kind...
And it should be dealt with as such. But that's not a good reason to change the
whole way the site works. Now, if you were advocating to change the TOS to
allow such content, that's a different story - but I don't think you are
advocating that?
So the whole discussion should assume that the TOS is followed. And if it is,
where's the problem? As Dave said:

So if you think this is a TOS violation, why don't you bring it up to the
Admins? Do you not think they would deal with it, if it actually is "vulgar,
pornographic... or indecent"?
If they Admins disagree with you, though, then you can't cite it as an example
of graphic discussion.
