 From what I understood the image filter will not have subjective  
criteria like "a little offensive", "very offensive", "pornography",  
but neutrally decidable criteria like "depicts nude female breasts",  
"depicts the face of Muhammad", "depicts mutilated dead body". If you  
select these criteria carefully there should be no need for any  
"sources" for your decision to put a file in the criterion's category.  
Either the image depicts the category topic or it doesn't.
