Some of these below I get, but some are too much. I guess Tex's speeder is out of the question. The condoms on another project seemed to slip by.

Promoting or glorifying acts of violence
Well I can see why a lot of the things are on the list just to reduce scams (pyramid programs) or any kind of abuse. But for some other things, it might be they're not very strict or specific about it until certain things get reported by a lot of people. Pornographic material could include the Leisure Suit Larry Kickstarter reward in a broader sense, but it may also be limited to stuff that actually shows graphic porn. Perhaps similar to some services such as Youtube, Twitch etc. they say it to keep themself being sued but don't do a lot about it unless people report something in for them to investigate, or its something obvious (e.g. showing actual graphic porn = insta-ban). But yeah the LSL reward was kind of surprising and I think it'd be best to avoid rewards like the Bourbon alcohol bottle that some had wanted in light of the restrictions just incase.

If it's now allowed, someone needs to fix that right now before it's too late!
