I'm too lazy to search the forum for answers, so what was the problem? It wasn't just a bitcointalk and reddit issue, was it?
I would even say that this measure is mostly aimed at NSFW content, Bitcointalk had no need for it. But as far as I can see, Uploading NSFW images straight to Reddit is also now allowed.
It is high time for someone to create an alternative platform for these images. Everyone felt helpless and unsure of what to do, particularly the original poster (OP) of the announcement thread and the bounty managers.
I guess you didn't see this
