Quoted: CC rule #2, *.
2.) Posting pictures* or links to images which contain pornography, nudity+, animal cruelty, racism, or sexism. (Any images of violence which are extreme will be removed and may result in a warning or worse.)
*Posts with images of violence or photos of scantly clad men or women should contain a warning in the title. These types of images will not be tolerated if inserted at random in other discussions.

I said beyond merely quoting the CoC, what's the reasoning for it?
The title mentioned "bikinis." There was no nudity. Major news organizations run these images without "warning."

It is the thread originator's responsibility to read, understand, and abide by the Conduct Code. We are not babysitters here. I could have simply sent the thread to Trash, and everything would have been lost. By handling things in this manner, all images can simply be edited back in, appropriate warning added to the thread title, and the thread is restored, and may continue. If you have a better way to handle things, feel free to let us know. Many of our members peruse the site from work, and we cannot have images popping up that could get them into trouble. The rules, and this method of handling them, have evolved over a two year period, and is deemed best for all concerned--but it requires knowledge and compliance by all. I could have done an edit of the title--merely added "(BOTD)" to it--and I do that if someone gratuitously posts a pic within a thread, but when the thread originator is the problem, he/she needs to become aware of the rules (which should already be known, but we give the benefit of the doubt) and the manner this was handled is the best way to accomplish that. Everyone can restore everything and continue normally. If the rules are followed, this does not happen, obviously.
