So would this showcase violate said rule? (third from the last picture) http://www.eccie.net/providers.php?do=view&id=97367
Or maybe this specific post?

Both do show a bit of genital area. Granted not a close up yet still on the same general rule violation.

And just on a random cursory search I found 37 showcases which seem to violate the rule as it is stated. And no I did not RTM them since it was after all just a cursory search.

But the policy and the justifications are still naively hypocritical.

These sites are big business, and we do all we can to absorb or spread out the cost (we do use a considerable amount of bandwidth, have extensive security and software expenses) so that our members do not have to spend their hard earned money to use our site. The advertisers are not members, in the pure sense of the term, so, in truth, they are paying for you to use this site. Do you really have a problem with that? If so perhaps you would be happier on a site that charges for it's use so you aren't so offended.
