srug Joint responsibility, I agree. Including mods/admins catching stuff. But if it's not flagged, there's not a lot the viewer can do once they've excercised their filter options except IM a mod - or just not browse the galleries, which really isn't an acceptable alternative. Accident happens. We all have "brain fart moments' and forget to check flags etc. I've done it. That's why when I was working here, rule of thumb was to just toggle the flag and send whoever a polite IM reminding them to check the nudity box next time. "sheer bloody-mindedness on the part of the artist" - Happens also, but they're not leaving the mods one hell of a lot of choice but to delete the image when that's the case. Heya... unlike a lot of things we can argue about around here, the nudity flag isn't something that got handed down from on high by the admins to the members. It's in place solely because after something like a year of debates, arguments, discussions, multiple threads, and even a poll, the members here at the time decided they wanted one, and even the majority of the members who didn't [or like me who just didn't care either way] decided they could live with it. I remeber all of that controversy pretty well, because I was one of several people, along with Russ, Tim, JeffH, MikeJ, Rimrunner and a few others who had to go through a database of some 48,000+ images toggling flags and getting it into place initially. So... when I upload a pic or a freebie, I may be a bit more persnickety on making sure I toggle so some other schmuck doesn't have to come along behind me and do it. ;]
