Unfortunately, there's no way we could say that each community can decide what is within the Terms of Use. Although they can certainly decide what's right for their topic as long as they aren't breaking the ToU. I think a good example of this is that cursing is not against the Terms of Use, but may be against individual wiki policies. We won't insist that you keep language clean, or that you allow people to curse on your wiki. Either is a local decision.

But over the last couple of weeks we've come across some wikis with images that are way beyond anything that Dragon Age would allow. We have to have a line that is a global "maximum" and is a fair and consistent limit that works for Wikia as a whole. Then, if individual wikis want to vary their local rules inside that line, that's up to them. This specific image may have not had complaints, but it was complaints about images on Wikia that hadn't been moderated by their communities that started this clean-up drive.

That said, this is a new process, and we're willing to look again at whether we are setting that line in the right place. I've been talking to people here over the last couple of days, and will be doing that in more detail soon -- the Mother image will be one of the examples I'll use to help us work on this. In the meantime, the image won't be deleted by the reviewers. Inferno Pendragon, if you replace it on Villains, we won't delete it there for now either (if it goes, please let me know - but it shouldn't!)

I appreciate you all talking this though, and think that we can work out the right levels of moderation for Wikia as a whole.
