Welcome to the internet.
That doesn't mean crap here. Seriously. Never has, even back when the game was just "CK beta", advertised primarily by word of mouth on usenet. It's a business and HT (and his partners/employees) have never tolerated any user/customer behavior that detracts from their core business by making the game environment look trashy or by wasting an enormous amount of employee resources.
That my friend, is the reality of this particular corner of the internet. Check your assumptions at the door, because HTC has a business to run and it doesn't involve a forum full of scantily clad women. Unlike many other internet businesses that revolve around social networking and forums, HTC doesn't make their money on advertising revenue driven by how many people visit their site. They have another business model that doesn't include pandering to "the internet" to get page clicks.
Maybe the rules sticky should have a little philosophy blurb at the top, explaining this sort of thing... It is highly relevant that HTC has considered shutting the forums down completely because they have tended to deviate from the business model over time.
