Seriously, what's the deal with voyeuristic fan art in the wiki?

What does the staff say?  "

1. Hentai titles may be cataloged in our wiki. Honestly, we just want the culturally significant ones -- if it doesn't have a good article we'll delete it.  
2. Hentai titles cataloged should have box art as the main image.  Try NOT to have any nudity in box art please.    
3. Screenshots/images of sex acts cannot be uploaded to galleries (wiki or profile).
4. No nude images implying sexual content. 
5. We'll let an occasional nude slip through, but in general staff/mods will have final say on the artistic merit or anime cultural significance of said image.

As I have been saying more likely than not we will probably import the main tenets of Anime Vice's new hentai rules which are as follows:
 

1. Hentai titles may be cataloged in our wiki. Honestly, we just want the culturally significant ones -- if it doesn't have a good article we'll delete it.  
2. Hentai titles cataloged should have box art as the main image.  Try NOT to have any nudity in box art please.

We come to it at last. The great battle of out time. The GiantBomb hentai purge of 2011.

" From the site FAQ:

Image upload best practices

Do not submit images with watermarks! Submit high rez images under 1 meg in size whenever possible.

• Images can include box art, screenshots, concept art, fan art, and more. When uploading images, we strongly encourage users to either associate their images with an appropriate gallery, or create a new gallery when necessary.
• Avoid adding images tagged or watermarked with other sites' URLs.
• Nudity is not allowed in the message boards. Hentai or nude images are only allowed in the wiki or the wiki's gallery IF it is official art from the publisher ( So no hentai fan art in the wiki or wiki galleries ). Hentai, unofficial art and unofficial hentai are allowed on profile image galleries.

 

Fan art is explicitly called out as acceptable. Some of the stuff on the site is really pushing it though. Also, I demand a fight between Killjoi and Newten. Two mods enter, one mod leaves! "

I feel I need to take some responsibility for this.  The rule about hentai above is actually a mistake.  That text was written specifically for the Anime Vice help page and accidentally got merged into the GB help page.  There is no hentai allowed on GB.  Also, Hentai images are no longer allowed on Anime Vice.   The text of our help page will be updated next code deploy.   

If need be, I'll make a formal post about nudity rules in image galleries tomorrow.

Jesus, a NSFW tag might have been in order here.

The forces against us are greater than I expected but rest assured as a commanding officer of the Anti-Porn Coalition Forces the war effort is going smoothly.

So does that mean that my long loved profile picture is fucked? (pun not intended)

I agree. Fan art is bullshit, and usually of low quality. I suggest it all be deleted.
