True, and I'm not really advocating that suggestion... I'd say stick with the current setup. But I like sharing ideas...
As for the responsibility. Most users are reasonably mature and can understand the reasoning behind the measure. Also, most will be able to judge pretty well wether or not it is SFW. for the remaining cases the mods will need to answer complaints from users. But the same already applies to forum posts that contain NSFW pictures. When posting a picture it isn't even asked wether or not it is SFW, and it doesn't go wrong that often.
As an aid in this, the board could force that "marker NSFW yes / no" be set. Thus forcing the user when selecting an avatar to think of the nature of the image.
