Now, due to the nature of this wiki, we tend to be a lot more lax with what we consider "obscene" or "pornographic" content. That's why a lot of the particularly graphic stuff is okay under the NSFW category.

However, there are still limits. Stories that are basically nothing but extended rape scenes, as Dugong's story was, I would say are not okay. That's the kind of story that would probably be deleted by Wikia Staff at some point if it hadn't been deleted by an admin right then and there.

Agreed. I am a firm believer in effective/visceral story-telling as opposed to stories posted purely for shock value and moral outrage. (as some author's seemed to capitalize on.)

To be honest, I think the most effective method is to leave a lot of the description up to the audience to imply. (an author can paint a brilliant picture, but the audience will always imagine something to a degree so much more effective.)
