Other Extreme Written Gore

[Bone2pick]

This hasn't been an issue for me in the past because of the RP genres I've participated in. But recently I've been dreaming up horror roleplay concepts, many of which would tread into extreme gore and violence territories — John Carpenter's The Thing comes to mind. So I'm curious what constitutes appropriate written gore and how you determine if someone's writing is "extreme."

Also, why is this restriction in place?

I assure you that I doubt this rule will come up.

It's only ever come up once in the site's decade history and it was a professionally published horror writer.
