Ratings check thread

It's funny how an image of someone being dismembered and tortured is considered safe, but a person in the shower is questionable. :D

That's because the system is only for sexual content. The Safe rating is not intended to mean that a picture is safe by any particular standard. It's just an established name. Think of it as an (E: Porn, Q: Erotica, S: The Rest) system, not (E: Vile, Q: Dubious, S: Wholesome). This has been discussed before, like in topic #12067.

Questionable doesn't require genital visibility, by the way. Breasts with exposed nipples, for example, are usually Questionable.

Some of y2's artworks have been rated questionable recently, while the images in question were rated safe beforehand. I'll provide some example links down below:

These are merely a few examples of images that have had their rating changed from safe to questionable, though these all look pretty tame to me. The worst thing you see is underboob on some of those images, and even then, it's usually nothing major at all. Perhaps I'm just liberal in terms of rating, but I'd like to hear some more opinions, if possible.

Thank you for reading.

Pinging @Swordman_of_a_Distant_Star, he's responsible for these ratings.

Skimming through his edits:

  • Some are changing covered nipples and cameltoe posts from rating:s to rating:q. That is correct according to howto:rate. Although some he rated rating:e, that's not right.
  • Some are rating large breasts in micro bikinis (or other tops showing major cleavage/underboob) as rating:q. I'm not sure about this. I can see the logic but I think posts that just show a lot of boob are usually rated safe. Either way, how to rate posts like this isn't explained by howto:rate.
