This is a good idea but would require some additional code. The good thing is
that the admins are unix system guys but the bad new is they have full time
jobs.
If people used the forum thread that once existed (started by me and delted
by...) then moderators can still get to offensive images in a timely manner. It
also enables discussion.
I was majorly pissed off when the Kari Byron image was removed. That required
admin intervention. Then there was the "One in the pink" but it could
not be fully recovered. All moderators have made mistakes but these were hate
crimes.
I deleted some of PJ's nude art (months ago), not because I thought it was bad
but I was just in auto pilot but I managed to find it and restore it after he
complained in the forum.

Why go there? Just change the standards to what is safe for work. Any image
that you wouldn't look at with your boss standing over your shoulder should be
moved to the porn site. I think that it would make things very easy to
distinguish unless your job was out of the ordinary.

I think it is a nice idea.
In fact to change standards will never be a solution, because any standards we
chose, there will always be a threshold which can be trespassed.

Yes I like the idea of purgatory but there is a technical problem with this
particular MySQL database whereby if something is moved it is really really hard
to restore with the same image number and location so that any comments and
links to it actually point to the correct image when it is restored. MrKlown
needs to think about that one.
PJ, wait for some more comments then post your idea in the forum for the admin
to read.
Ideally we want an image in purgatory to be able to be commented on ad nauseam
and then if it is cleansed of sins it can return to the fray with all it's
comments in tact.

Rather than move it, use a filter.
Maybe recycle the current categoryfilter. Does anyone use it?
