WP:BP does not mention "censorship" as a case for a block. No admin would block anyone for removing the Goatse.cx image from the Goatse.cx article or any porn from any porn stars article. What rules do the reverted changes violate, so the other 3RR violations are not enforced?
Blanking, whether in whole or "significant parts", is considered vandalism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism#Types_of_vandalism. Also, this is policy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_censored.
You do bring up a good point about the consistency of application, and you probably are correct, but you need actual examples of that happening. I'd keep in mind that shock material, like goatse images, is considered vandalism unless it's within the context of an article that's clearly about it. Most people don't know what to expect reading goatse. An article titled "Extreme sex acts", however, because people know by the title that they aren't entering an article about goats or facial hair, would be allowed a lot more discretion on what is and is not shock, at least as long as it involves sex. Consider these articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagina http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clitoris http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreskin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumcision ~~~Pro-Lick
