I don't think this guide was intended to suppress a certain type of fanart or freak out people. If anything, I'd hope this would encourage more fanart. Most of the stuff that people are actually objecting too seems to show up pretty rarely on the board and it all gets hidden behind image spoilers anyway.

If you draw a thing and you're worried that it might upset the author but still want to post it somewhere, put it in an offsite gallery or tumblr or even put in /draw/ if that kind of thing matters to you. If it doesn't: post it wherever, its not like that's stopped anyone before and its not like we're going to ban you for it.
By the same token, people should draw fanart because they like drawing fanart, no matter how tame or unspeakable it is, and not out of some desire to offend someone in particular. Its the internet and people need to have a thick skin, especially when they're creating a thing, but don't make a bunch of snuff/scat/vore and post it here like a smug motherfucker just because you feel like being a dick. The whole point of fanart is to show appreciation for something that someone else is making, not to be an asshole that's trying to provoke an argument.
For instance Bitequest's stuff, no matter how depraved it gets, is awesome because he's not making it to be a dick. When he drew me that awesome spreadeagled pic of Radula, I could tell that he knew that I might not like it, and was aware that not everyone is into gaping squid orifices. But he made it because it was fun and I really appreciate it. Even if I didn't, its a picture, I'm sure I would get over it because that's what people need to learn to do: get over things.
TL;DR
Draw more fanart, because fanart is awesome and awesome people draw fanart. Don't use fanart as an excuse to be a dick, but don't flip out if someone draws a thing that you don't like.
