This option already exists in 1.3, to hide images in the content, drop
this in your user stylesheet:
#content img {display: none}
http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_styles has some more samples.
Perhaps there is a software solution. We could add a
field to the
"image" table called "img_rating," which could be used to indicate
potentially offensive characteristics of the image from a fixed list
of possibilities, e.g., "sex," "violence," "profanity,"
"scatological." The same fixed list could be added to user options,
so that people could choose themselves which types of images they
prefer not to see.
There's some more discussion on the hiding/classification subject at
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offensive_content.
