Chris,

“According to your definition though,
www.flickr.com/photos/taps7734/1402366597/ should only be
considered Moderated. The same with
www.flickr.com/photos/taps7734/978697341/”

Actually, we consider those to me more sexually explicit
and they need to be flagged as “restricted”.

In joining Flickr, all of our members agree to abide by our
Community Guidelines. These guidelines require that all of
our members be respectful of the community and flag their
content that may not be suitable for “safe” viewing.
Flickr is a very large community made up of many types of
members from all over the world. In crafting our Community
Guidelines, we weighed the rights of the individual vs. the
rights of the overall community and built a system that
would enable members to choose what they want to view.

We built the filters in such a way that we would not be
come the arbiters of what is and isn’t artistic. It’s meant
to ensure that members who may not want to see graphic or
sexual images don’t have to, and those members who want to
can opt in to do so.

With regards to changing your status, it’s not clear to me
from our back and forth that you understand why filters are
important in respecting the greater community. We’re happy
to work with our members, to get them back to a
“safe/public” status, but we need to get a sense that
they’re more understanding of why it’s important.

Regards,

Heather
