I tend to think images with the nudity flag tend to get more viewings. As for my humble opinion, maybe a less formal sounding message reminding an artist to put the flag on would've been cool. The reasoning is in a forum like this, people tend to let down formal walls, speak their mind a bit, and it all has the air of informalness. For me, the way I think of everyone here in RD, and especially within the Bryce community here, is as friends. Agentsmith, Zhann, and others. So, I could imagine getting a formal sounding message might feel a bit cold.
As for me and nude flags, when I started learning to put figures into Bryce, I didn't know how to add the clothes and export them from Poser. The first nudity I did was a gold statue, like what you see in a trophy (golden winged angel type) and I wrestled with "do i click nudity or not?" thoughts. To me nude = no clothes, and since this is all virtual art we're doing, lots of arguments could be made that it is or isn't nude. However, I'm not big on philosophy so I avoid the stress and just error on the side of caution.
However, if I do ever violate an RD policy, it would be by accident (sometimes I do upload at night and I'm all sleepy). A friendly message like "oops! please don't forget the nude flag next time. If ya got questions, click here (faq link)" would be enough to get me to be extra careful next time.
