Perhaps there is a software solution. We could add a field to the
"image" table called "img_rating," which could be used to indicate
potentially offensive characteristics of the image from a fixed list
of possibilities, e.g., "sex," "violence," "profanity,"
"scatological." The same fixed list could be added to user options,
so that people could choose themselves which types of images they
prefer not to see.
