Archive link for the mod statement. From the statement itself:
Anyway, here are some things to keep in mind:
- Gore and pornography are still not allowed in /r/PICS.
- Remain civil toward one another.
- Do not violate the site-wide rules.
- This link directs back to this comment.
- It is normal to experience special feelings while looking at John Oliver.
There’s some chance that Reddit Inc. replaces r/pics mods with someone else, due to NSFW’ing the community, so they might need to give in.
Even then the move should show how fucking huge of a difference there is between the global rules being enforced vs. what they want you to believe on. i.e. that the mod code of conduct is toilet paper.
To be (un)fair, the ToS is toilet paper on most for-profit websites.
