yaoi also means shounen-ai, yuri also means shoujo-ai basically.
just only people who hate to use words contain sexual meanings are using shounen-ai or shoujo-ai instead.
I do not believe it is needed to distinguish b/t a lesser version of it, if the meaning is the same.
Even though the meanings are generally the same, many people have been using s-ai instead of yuri/yaoi for usual romance genre, and the latter for more explicit ones. Since that's the easier way to say it and gives a good idea of the content than saying "oh, I read this yaoi manga before and it's go-", then you got people saying you're a -if you're a male- weirdo because it's yaoi, rather than shounen-ai.
But if it is deemed that extra tags aren't necessary, then I guess that's fine. As long as there is a clear guideline on discerning which is which.

OK. Let's try this instead -

Yaoi - Explicit, Questionable and Safe scans with two or more males in sexy poses
Yuri - Explicit, Questionable and Safe scans with two or more females in sexy poses
This is fine, but "sexy poses" is a bit vague and subjective.

No it isn't. "Sexy poses" means "poses that are sexual in nature." Basically if it's implying anything dirty it counts.

Poses which are sexual for one person might not be so for others. It is subjective, although many taggings are done subjectively, too, so I don't have much to say about subjectivity.
About vague, I meant it just needs something to emphasize along with it. With one or two activity included in the description that can be considered "sexual".

Which is why I said it's fine.
The tagging for rating:s yuri could well be subjective. rating:q yuri and rating:e yuri images will hopefully be more objective.

If you're not sure just post a comment or PM a mod.
Unless there are any objections, I'll start tagging my scans with yuri and yaoi where applicable.

Any volunteers to go through the site history?

I am sincerely sorry if this is out of line but, I hope that question is rhetorical, I mean that seems like a fork-nighter
