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.
