I mean, I understand the problem with paedophilia, and why it needs to be kept outside wikimedia projects, but I think it is equally important to provide with the means to present the content to users in their desired level of exposure; tagging, collapsing and hiding graphic content would do the trick, and it is technologically straightforward.

Such a system was indeed among the recommendations put forward by the 2010 Wikimedia Study of Controversial Content, paralleling similar systems in place at major sites such as Google, youtube and flickr.

As for the Commons sexual content policy poll: there are currently 144 editors in support, and 138 opposing adoption of the policy. The community is almost exactly split down the middle.

Hi all,
I thought I'd note for those interested in the
latest
from the
community side of the 'controversial content'
discussions - the
Commons 'Sexual Content' proposal has just gone
into a
polling stage
for the second time;
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Sexual_content#Second_poll_fo...
thanks for sending this out, and I am glad to see the discussion/vote ongoing and hope to see lots of participation in it.
I hope Phoebe doesn't mind me copying her in on
this
email, but I'd
also like to follow up an enquiry about the
working
group she
mentioned last month - it's here; http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Phoebe#G.27day_Phoebe
And thanks for the prod... we've been slow to put
together
the working group that I mentioned in my last message, but it is
still
happening. In the meantime comments on the recommendations are certainly welcome. More soon, I hope!
best, Phoebe
