No, actually site admin prohibits change, now that this policy is in place.  I don't know why they bother to entertain discussion, they clearly have no plans of changing it no matter what anyone thinks.  Bitch all you like, it won't get you anywhere.  I agree with you completely regarding the thumbnail rules, not so much for freedom of expression reasons but simply because under the current rules, it's impossible to see or post a thumbnail that accurately represents a flagged image.  At times I wish site admin would just come out and say what is painfully obvious, that they really don't care too much what individuals think, this is just how it's going to be until further notice.  Instead we have 5 page threads that are littered with cat pics and vitriol.  Whatever.  ^_^
