I have emailed both Philippe, Legal and have asked for comment from Jimmy.
Problem is, this is a "Commons problems" and we get no responses from any
of them...except Eric has commented after bringing him to Commons. But this
is NOT a Commons problem.

Legal will not get involved in the copyright issues, etc that IS a Commons
problem, but dealing with the limited CP ( < 100 images per year) frankly
is a legal issue that should not be thrust onto volunteers in our
Community. As to having paedophiles and the like in the Commons community,
I defer to the en.wp stance that they should not be part of our
communities, but again that is a legal matter that our communities should
not be forced to deal with.

+1 on SJ's comment, and I think Pete made some
excellent points on the
talk
page<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Reporting_abuse>se>.
For instance: How would this affect the legal team's paid staff time if we
place a big red button under each image? I have cc:ed Geoff since he may
not be aware of the question.
But I would also like to say that this is very well worth checking out.
This is the template that is suggested right now (feel free to edit):

Interesting. Thanks for the heads-up! SJ

Sorry to
those who are tired of the image/consent discussions, but
just wanted to bring this to this list's attention as well.
I'm tagging this thread with "[Commons]" and suggest others do the
same in future to make it easier for people who do not want to discuss
Commons or who feel inundated with the subject matter to filter these
messages. Also, if you're using Google Mail, you can "mute" a thread
(under the "More" options after you open the thread) and you won't see
any future responses in your inbox -- other email clients have similar
features.
Quick notes about an interesting development:
* User:Rillke on Commons has started prototyping a gadget that could
be used to simplify reporting of various issues with images with a
simple "Flag this image" workflow. This discussion is on the Commons
Village Pump.
I've brought that discussion to the attention of WMF legal. Note: It's
not like the current workflow is completely broken -- the
Commons:Contact_us flow is actually pretty good -- but a nicer UI and
more prominent placement could help. The current workflow also does
not provide an option for consent issues.
* I've summarized the current state of his prototype here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Reporting_abuse
On the talk page I've also recommended that consent to be displayed in
an image be considered in the reporting options.
I'm sure Rillke would appreciate any active development help with the
feature, as well as continued feedback and encouragement (WikiLove?)
which is crucial for volunteer motivation.
Cheers,
Erik
