I'm working on something like this. It's
already up to ten questions
just to decide if an image is under a free license, a non-free
license, or is self-created. You can't just ask "do you think we can
use it under 'fair use' provisions" -- the answer will always be
"yes". The set of questions for determining fair use is going to need
to be fairly large.
My presumption was actually to do something like this:
1 Do you think it can be used under fair use? Why?
2 User writes some half-arsed response
3 Image is stored in quarantine
4 Periodically, administrator goes through and checks if any have
decent rationales, and deletes the rest
That is, kind of like a police officer dutifully noting down "So,
you're an extra terrestrial here to save humanity by removing gold
necklaces from "earthlings" necks. That's great, thanks".
I suppose it would be kind of bad faith, but how else to resolve the problem?
Are you offering to do the reviewing? There are over
two thousand
images uploaded each day, about half of which are uploaded by very new
users.
Once the images are filtered appropriately, spend as much time
reviewing them as is appropriate. In "problem areas", delete slabs
without looking if needed.
