That would be great, altho I do not know if you want to take on an issue like this personally. But as for me it would clear up a lot of confusion. I don't keep e-mails on this sort of thing, they generally go straight to the trash which I empty weekly.  BUT! If it happens again I will send you a site mail with a copy of the warning, a link to the pic on say divshare, and maybe it could help to make decisions cohesive on these problems.

You know no one wants to be the internet/gallery police. So if mine is flagged, and someone else's isn't, if I speak out it looks petty. So until ArtPearl posted I had just decided to limit my image posts. What did finally disgust me was a beautiful image of a man and a woman, nude, embracing. It got pulled for sexual content! Nude does not equal sex! *sigh... So it was then I decided that I did not need to post as much and dropped Gallery Plus from my membership.

I honestly think the 2 thumbnail choice could work out great. Heck if you want color make one Red (*for the scary Nudes!) and the other Green (*for the warm and fuzzies!). Problem solved.

BTW, one last question. I can see where if an image has nudity and it is not marked as such some could be offended. But where is the offense if an image is flagged nude or violent and it is not? Who gets offened there? I can just hear it now.... "I opened that up to see blood, gore and naked bodies! I am so insulted it was just a second skin!!!" Seriously! If an artist does flag it as nude, or violent, and it isn't nude or violent enough... why does it even matter? Stats? just do away with stats like how often it is viewed! Saves everyone here so many headaches. And actually returns some sanity to this issue.

BTW, on the penis thing, I was offended because it was UGLY! LOL! And it had certain things missing.... wonder how long it took to get that lighting.... hmmmm.... maybe a jar of some type of body fluid would have made it more cohesive.... *you know I was referencing the crucifix in the jar of pee. 

EEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!

Oh I flagged this with a nudity flag cause of the link I posted above!

Is there water in your future or is it being shipped away to be resold to you?
