Those flags are to help people who browse at work, or when their families/small children are present, or who simply don't want to see or read about matters which they consider offensive. The person who uploads an image of a nude to the gallery should check that flag (and not show nudity in the thumbnail). He'll still be able to see the image, but anybody with the nudity filter checked on THEIR viewing options won't. If you are modeling that stuffed teddybear which pulls apart and you ask in the Forum where to get the right sound effects to go with the animation, you should check "violence" so that those people who don't want to think about how horrible it is won't be disturbed... they simply won't click on the link. If you have rendered "Ares Astride Thermopylae" where he is wearing only a cuirass and helmet, you need to check both buttons. Some folks have agitated for a "cute" warning button, too, especially when we are drowning in syrup. ;^) If everybody used the flags just to get attention, they'd be meaningless... like the car alarms that everyone ignores. There is some lack of consistency which is understandable. Is showing the House Mouse's tail hanging from the Toonimal Cat's mouth "violent"? Is a Harpy or Sphinx considered "nude" just because they have breasts sticking out? In borderline cases just use common sense and courtesy, but be aware that somebody will probably complain no matter where you draw the line. ... and speaking of drawing the line... while playing with Poser check out the "sketch presets". There are packets of really good ones in the Market and at various sites if you want to explore that avenue. Maybe you want the full rendered look of droids in glass houses or maybe you want the droids but rendered in the flat colors of anime, knowing that you have options can help you search the right paths.
