i recall that the original reason such rule was to prevent kids for going into some grotesk porn over destruction and death. (And for some reason always crudely kitbashing my drawings )
IMO sunked ships are always graves, and should be dealt with respect, and idea that someone would want to make simple pixel art of someones grave disturpts me slightly. This could be a cultural thing, but I gather I am not the only one with this mindset here.
Also, what comes to worn and torn, and damage, its always something that breaks away from the mathematical aesthetics, that designed technical constructions presents, and thus further difficoulties to be properly presented in pixel art, specially our non gradient ones. Attempts of such starts bordeline a mockery to the style itself, and serve no purpose in core idea of what our style is to be about: uniform templates of ships (and other equipment) to be viewed as part of larger catalogue of similar things.

There is a good reason for the Shipbucket rule. I think Gallivainan states it clearly;
One can see from the uproar, that metal thieves have caused by looting the Dutch naval war memorials in Indonesian waters and by similar thieves who have been chased out of Ironbottom Sound and the Slot, a place of memorial for Japanese and Americans that the principle is almost human-wide. Whether if it is Egyptians, or Greeks in the Eastern Mediterranean (5000 years of wrecks) or The Filipino government (Surigao Strait wrecks specifically) or the Malay and Thai governments (USS Lacarta site specifically), one must get permission and or authorization to investigate marine grave sites. Drawings and photos must be cleared. The dead are to be respected.
