It's possible they could assign a user to a semi-moderator position that's primary function (heh) would be to "review" pending avatars and mark them as either "safe" or "NSFW."

Since there are so many users already, maybe all avatars should be listed as NSFW, and then active users that wanted their avatar "cleared" would submit it to the moderator to review.

Initially, that would probably be a huge dose of avatars to review, but with time it should become a more realistic assignment.

I don't think many people get kicks out of "beating the system" and posting a "safe" avatar, when it is really NSFW, but if this is a serious concern, then a "reviewer" may be able to help out.

I have all avatars and signatures disabled, as I find it the best way to avoid akward moments and situations, but I can understand the desire to exclude only NSFW avatars. I guess the issue becomes whether it is worth all the work to create a means for limiting and filtering out the NSFW avatars.

I would venture a prediction that if an option to not view NSFW avatars was created, most, if not all users, would take advantage of it, especially given the amount of browsing people do from public places and workstations.

Take care.
