A little scenario: Someone posts an image of a nude young woman with fairy wings attached. No sensual posing, just a fairy flitting through the woods. A mod comes by, he/she thinks "Hey, she looks a bit like my niece. My niece is 15." So the image gets deleted and the poster gets a warning. Same image, another mod. Now the fairy reminds the mod of the girl next door. She is 22. All is fine and dandy, image stays in the gallery. How realistic is this scenario? I'd definitely like to know how the moderators are supposed to apply the TOS equally and fairly. One way would be to have all mods evaluate every potential TOS violation. An impossible amount of work regarding the popularity of the fairy genre. The TOS are clear about erotic content. What is allowed and what is not allowed is well defined. Very small room for error there. This new addition has an enormous room for error. So the only think it will accomplish is many bitter disputes over yanked images that are completely innocent by all definitions and laws (except maybe the most extreme puritan views).

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
