In my mind I always end up trying to create a binary rating system when thinking about rating images, which is a strangely frequent occurrence in my mind...
The easiest would be safe and not-safe, but you could flip that I suppose. From a work-safe point of view the last bit wouldn't be a good idea. Shortly after coming to that conclusion I go "but three ratings works fine too and it allows for easier blacklisting and what not so it's al right" and I'm back where I started.
But aside from the broken inner workings of my brain, I suppose the main thing in rating an image is that the rules for rating need to be clear and easy and preferably short. No exceptions, no frills, but pure crystal clarity. So what is this mystical boundary...
Well an easy one would be as follows and I think it would work:
- It would mean dildos, vibrators, onacups, fleshlights etc are questionable. But only when not used, as the genitalia would generally be in view otherwise and kick it to explicit. I could live with these in rating:e too though, but I always feel that something like a vibrator alone isn't all that explicit, just questionable. - I suppose I would put condoms under the genitalia facsimile header and they could be questionable. Just to catch-all all shapes of the damn things unless covered by the wrapper I suppose hah. Bah, ok I can live with that and it gives the right message to the kids out there (nice save from breaking my own arguments if I do say so myself). - It would mean safe semen (alliteration \o/). Partly because I've always hated the assumption that it has to be semen, partly because a lot of images involving semen would be questionable anyway for showing nipples or covered genitalia or be explicit for showing a character's genitalia outright. - All naked characters are explicit, unless they are partly covering rating-determining parts with something - including their own body I suppose - or they have been cropped off.
It leaves some gaps, suggestive acts for one. You can fix that either with the already used general tags for the acts or you can choose to not fix it and let the viewer deal with what is effectively whatever the hell they think it is.
Guro is another 'problem area' I suppose, but a lot of the stuff that really wants non-safe ratings is usually questionable anyway...
Another solution there would be a quick list of tags that warrant a certain rating, but that would add clutter to clarity. I'd keep that list short, very short. Preferably length 0.
That leaves one thing bugging me to no end. The social acceptance of the unclad male torso that the unclad female torso does not have. The one main problem, a beach scene would be questionable by default with this system if it had male characters in it. That's pretty fair and I could live with it, but to avoid changing much from current rating, rate q only on female nipples, the rest would stay the same.
So to answer the second post, a safe breast would be questionable when it is 1. Exposed down or up to the nipple 2. Female
P.S.I'm sure I'll disagree with this and therefore myself in about 15 t0 30 minutes

Well an easy one would be as follows and I think it would work:
Explicit : Exposed genitalia.
Questionable : Visible nipples, areola etc, visible facsimiles of genitalia, covered visible genitalia.
Safe : Everything else.
