Not to backseat mod or anything, but there seems to be a little bit of an inconsistency with what's questionable and whats safe. Whenever I try to decide what to rate a post, I try to imagine my mother going onto e926. I don't exactly want her to see large breasts, nipple-less or not. some good examples are post #282029 and post #281945

Just wondering if we could come up with slightly stricter guidelines with the rating. My two cents are if any 'serious' article of clothing is missing (Pants, shirt/bra, etc.), and there are obvious breasts/bulges, then it should be questionable.

good issue. demands attention!!

I think the ratings are fine. Exposed breasts, questionable. Genitals/anus/sex acts, explicit. And nipple-less breasts shouldnt have the same rating as breasts with nipples. That would just be silly.

How about images where you can see the nipples through clothing. Questionable? Safe?

Questionable, same with the bulge of a penis which would be explicit.

Well, just because a girl has large breasts doesn't immediately mean it is a porn picture. Your picture post #282029 however is borderline, I dunno how this should be tagged for you Americans, safe for Europe all the way.

If you mean based on actual American law, that'd be rated Safe as it could legally be put on a public poster. You'd still have to have a -very- forgiving boss to not get fired for seeing that at work, though.

Do you really go on sites like this at work?

I hope not, but asking whether a post would be acceptable in such a context is one of the common the litmus tests for Safe vs. Questionable.

No, because it relies on users editing tags which means there could always be "accidents".

This.

It's not so much making it safe for work, as making it so somebody can say "I'm not really interested in porn right now." and restrict rating to Safe, and for the most part, they don't get porn. There's plenty of art on this site that's not pornographic at all, and is frankly gorgeous, to justify somebody browsing it regularly for clean stuff.

So you could also say that Explicit means porn, Questionable means sexy pinup and shit, and Safe means pure clean art. That's really the point of the rating system in the first place. Saying "Safe for work" is just something that more people can agree on than the purely-subjective "Is this clean".

That is what I said, the pic above is, for our concern in Europe, purely safe and would get you no shit from no-one.
Sure, your boss might ask why you waste time looking at Ruuto (If he plays Zelda) but nothing else besides that.

The definition of safe is for us Europeans no visible sexual organs and no suggestive poses.
Posing for a group photo in a micro bikini is safe, posing in a real nun garb while making it look that the nun sits on a vibe or something would be porn and thus get kicked into explicit, although nothing explicit is directly visible.

Nipples are something different entirely, we have bare nipples and titties in most newspapers, in the less reputable ones daily and as a real part of the paper, in the reputable ones as long as it makes sense to post them for the news or report in question.

But that won't really help the discussion about this site.

An international site like this would obviously use the conservative intersection of all major supersets of what's considered "safe". There are plenty of places that certainly don't consider free-range nipples to be safe. :P
