I've no problems with NSFW pictures on pages marked as such, but the fact that some of them pop up in pages that are supposed to be SFW is problematic. For example: C*l*br**n's pic tends to pop up in the 'popular pages' sidebar when you use the search function. Can this be changed?
Let me preface this by saying that the Rose Potter and C*l*br**n missions have my highest respect. No way I could read through either fics, even for sporking. They're the most notable missions we have, which is why they're often seen on the sidebar of the wiki.
But...
Is there any chance that we could change their images? I get that the pictures are meant to convey the content of the article, but even though they're not explicit I always try to cover up their part of the screen. It would also be supremely awkward to try and explain what they mean to a non-Boarder, or to have someone see them over my shoulder. Is there something less uncomfortable we could change them to?
On a personal level, if you have Adblock, you can also use it to block specific images. There should be an option to do that if you right-click them.
I think the images work, and it's probably okay to have them on the wikipages themselves, since they're already tagged as NSFW. But it might be a good idea not to have images from NSFW pages pop up on SFW ones.

I'm assuming you're talking about excluding Clbr__n from popping up on 'See Also', rather than about changing the picture (which would not require an admin, obviously). I'm looking through the Admin menus, and can't find anything that would obviously do that...

Usually you could do it by editing http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Photosblacklist
Unfortunetly, the entire Mediawiki namespace has been locked due to an internal security breach until further notice. i'll let you know when they unlock it.
Do you happen to know if there's a way to set which image appears as the thumbnail for a page with multiple images? I would assume it would always be the first image that appears, but sometimes it isn't, and it bugs me.

Where does the thumbnail appear?
Each Category page displays eight thumbnails for certain pages (most recently edited, maybe?), and thumbnails also appear under "Read More" at the bottom of each article. If there's no image, you just get the first few words of the article in a large size.
I've found some thumbnails not displaying as I would expect them to in the Department of Bad Slash category. Luxury and Suicide are both given thumbnails, but neither of them displays an image, despite the fact that both of their articles contain images. It's weird, and I'd like to have a little more control over it.

The images on those pages are too small to fit in the thumbnail spot. Try adding a larger image to the page.
Apparently they have to be bigger than 130px by 115px. Sheesh, the width for the TekTek images is only 10px off. Easy enough to add that.

Yeah, I think it might be too risky. After all, the Ironic Overpower will make things as awful as possible.
