In light of certain unfortunate happenings, much fuss has been made over the otherwise 'unspoken' rules of thumb that dictated whether a particular image was acceptable or not. It appears that over the past few years, community rule 5 (aka: no NSFW content) has been viciously misinterpreted, misunderstood, and generally rendered useless by an enduring lack of common sense.
If it isn't obvious already, I really didn't want to write or propose this, but it seems as if there is no other way to put this issue to bed.
In any case, I've thus submitted a PR to the osu-wiki that encompasses a broad suite of examples and labels for what isn't acceptable in a beatmap's visual content, and what is acceptable in limited quantities. This covers everything from BGs, to SB's to skins and more, so it's a fairly hefty thing.
Please review the current details here.
Do note that this is a draft, and much of it will need discussing - from particular implementations, to whether we even really need this at all. Please discuss robustly. I'm counting on it.
