I think /gif/ is /gif/ whether it has porn in it or not. There shouldn't be any restrictions on posted content other than it fitting the category of the board. Many people take this too far and attack people for posting random gifs in /gif/ saying they should be in /b/ or wallpapers in /wg/ instead of /hr/ despite them being high-res.
I see the sections as being guidelines so that some sort of categorisation can occur to organise the collection of images to make it easier for users to find images that suit their interests.
Having said that I am opposed to denying /gif/ of pornographic content. I also don't appreciate the abundance of porn in /gif/ as I mostly like to see humourous gifs like parodies of movie scenes or random clips taken out of context or subtitled.
I don't think the solution is restriction, I think you and many others are placing too much reliance on the "rules" of the boards and less on the community that makes this board what it is. The fact of the matter remains that if people want to see porn, it will be posted. If you don't like it, stay out of the section. If you want to see more amusing gifs or once relevant to your interests, post some yourself, start some new threads and generate interest in your topic. Chances are there'll be others out there who share your interest, and will post more similar gifs.
Summary: Less porn (relatively) through more non-porn content!
