I'm more raising the issue that what could be child pornography remains
available to wmf volunteers with 'oversight' op.s on commons - I don't think
the foundation should facilitate that, and I hope a decent enough system can
be quickly implemented (it's also quite possible that there is in fact a
system in place, but it's unknown to me!) for the depressingly inevitable
'next time'
I'd probably go a step further and say that sub-optimal / insufficient
systems for dealing with predictable problems indicate a general lack of
responsible governance in this area (ie. I'm sadly not surprised that this
issue occurs in this way) - but mileage inevitably varies...
I'm hopeful of hearing of a strong resolution to this one imminently.

Here's another concerning aspect of
management of explicit media on WMF;
It's been asserted that images of a 16 year old girl masturbating have
been
uploaded to commons;
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_notic
eboard/Incidents&oldid=338426080#User:Misty_Willows_problematic_images The
image in question has been deleted from commons;
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Closeup_of_female_mastu
rbation_pastel.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1
..and I think it's also been
oversighted. Lar, a commons oversighter, muses over on wikipedia review
whether or not continuing to fight fires caused by systemic problems is
the
right thing to do;

072 The general issue is of course important, but
I hope in the short
term,
that the image in question can be properly
deleted - restricting it to
oversighters only remains, in my view, likely to be illegal - it really
would be best for that image to be removed by a dev.
Maybe this is underway as I type? Hope so!
This is an interesting case, but I don't see what it has to do with
policies
on explicit images on WMF projects. Even if the policies would be changed
to
be the strictest possible (for example, no explicit images allowed at all),
the exact same thing could happen.
