Well: 1) If an artist consents, and you can show that they did, their work can be uploaded. However, I doubt many artists would consent to censored versions of their work to be shared. 2) The DC page you mention is dedicated to images that were actual panels in DC comics, not fan art made by non-DC artists. 3) There is nothing against sensuality here (as many of the fan art galleries for popular female characters will show), but it's a different issue when the image features a skimpy outfit (Marvel-drawn Emma Frost dresses like a stripper on a daily basis) versus when the image features nudity or graphic sexual content (i.e. topless Molly Hayes). 4) I believe that the severity of the ban (given for a "first offense" with no warning) came from the fact that the original images you cropped were not only pornographic in nature, but depicted a character under the age of 18. Here in the U.S., that falls into a legal grey area, but it generally is considered a form of child pornography, whether intended or not.

You raise a few valid points, but I'm honestly not the one to talk to on this. Edkaufman is the one who blocked you, and any contest to the block, or discussion on the acceptance of "erotic" fan art should be brought up with him.
