The objection to a flickr-style concept was to the "one size fits all"
safe/not-safe rating done by a central staff.

As Stephen notes, Flickr's specific approach does involve deletion,
suspension, etc etc etc, but none of the proposals for the filter have
suggested anything like this - there's no desire to remove the images,
just to label them for display [or not] in articles.
