more useful given that it does exist.
Well, en.wp insists on having explicit and confronting images for
certain topics, so...
At the Commons we occasionally get irate requests to delete certain
images because they've been used in vandalism attacks. We are somewhat
hesitant to delete them, assuming they're licensed correctly, for the
likely backlash of "censorship!". So once we found out about the
existence of this, we have been advising wikis to use the Bad image
list. But we still delete some images when they seem particularly
superfluous and particularly confronting.
And by "we" I mean like, me and two other guys who follow these
deletion requests on Commons.
I'm not a big advocate for the list, but this is my interaction with it.
