One possible way of making server-side filtering scale is for motivated editors to create their own ratings for images. [[User:Example/Classification/NotSuitableForKids]] might contain a list of links to images that, in the opinion of User:Example, are unsuitable for kids. Someone for whom this kind of thing matters can then pop this into his Censorship file, with the result that he won't be able to download anything that gets put into that article. The system would be based on trust. People with religious objections and whatnot could club together and maintain their censor lists without bothering anybody else.
That could be a very good and workable solution, allowing classifications to grow organically without a chilling effect on the production of raw material..

(that's a ticky-box at the start and a text box at the end.)
How's your PHP coding?
