I know you will come back with we aren't tolerating it or we could improve there as well. Then do so.
I find the we have to start somewhere excuse just that. An excuse to pick on one set of individuals over others. Personally I don't like those that pick on people because they are different. I really don't care how they are different. I'm good with live and let live. I'm just as good with this is what we are about and we don't tolerate this and that.
But stick to it consistently then. If we are against demeaning people because of their sex, race, religious views, sexual orientation etc. etc. then follow through all the way. If we are just going allow some and not others based on the biases of the moderation team then yes I would agree it's time to expand the moderation team.
Perhaps you should include more women, minorities, people of faith etc. on your team so there could be an actual attempt at creating a space where anybody of any persuasion would feel free to enter any thread and participate without being attacked for what they are or what they believe.

This post is so telling in regards to you not having read or comprehended the basis for this thread in the first place, the actual original post in the thread, or the subsequent discussion.
They ARE expanding the moderating team. They ARE going to attempt to curtail other previously accepted posts and themes.
You're railing against something that doesn't exist.
This is quite frankly, a bunch of bull####. You're either not reading it, or not caring about the responses:

If you have a problem with a post, report it. Don't whine about it after the fact that no one else reported it. If you have a problem with the moderation on the board, talk to a mod about it. In my experience, they are pretty responsive and engaging.
It's just so petulant. "They took away my tits, so they'd better take away someone elses toys too, or it's just not fair!".
It's not about the tits. It's about the demeanor and candor of what is acceptable posting behaviour on the forum.
As someone who was previously banned for posting nsfw material, I never understood why the thread was acceptable to begin with. It turns out, many other posters felt the same way, they responded to the moderation team about it, and policy changed.
My apologies for a harsh tone, but this is becoming maddening.
