You are making it too complex to blur the issue Chris :-)
Now, if user A absolutely want a special category of [[image:offending elections]], by all mean, let us create this category with a huge smile
Then, when User A list a picture to be set in [[image:offending elections]], let us have a poll on it; One vote to put it in the category, 99 votes not to put it. Hence, the picture is not listed in the category
After a year, gently and discreetly comment on that neat [[image:offending elections]] category, still empty of any offending picture. Suggest deletion.
Wait 2 weeks.
Delete the category.
Now, you should trust users to be reasonable. If a category is unreasonable, there will not be consensus to put any picture in it :-)

Additionnaly, I think we could go forward setting a couple of categories of potentially offensive pictures, such as
- sex
- violence
- nudity
- ...
Let's not forget images of:
- Elections
- Demonstrations
- Medical procedures
- Diseases
- Weaponry/bombmaking
- Cracking (in the computer cracking sense)
- Drug paraphenalia
- Bioagents
- Chemical Agents
- Nuclear and Atomic Manufacturing / Processing Equipment
- Religious symbols
- American Presidents (it seems to really chafe some people to look
at GW)
- WWII-era paraphenalia (France/Germany especially)
I'm not being facetious, unfortunately. I see and read a lot of non-US media (mostly really) and it's amazing the number of things people find offensive.
Oh, forgot about animals too:
Spiders
large cats hunting and feeding
Any insect up close
Snakes
slaugtherhouses
I am sure each culture is able to add to the list.
I just looked on the W for a page about that, but only came up with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Profanity Maybe there is a page for image classification based on cultural/political sensitivities.
