I'm working on a forum that allows images attached to the posts and doesn't require registration. Thing is, I'd like to provide a work-safe navigation option in which the posts with porn images attached aren't shown.

The ideas I've come up with are:


Making the work-safe option the default and treating all posts with
images attached as pornographic, and making them visible only if the
user "unchecks" it.
Making all posts with images attached not work-safe by default and
changing their status to work-safe only after a moderator approved
it. Only then they would be visible if the user has the "work-safe" option checked.


Does anyone else have an idea? Also, how the big web services deal with this? (YouTube, CraigsList, even StackExchange).

By the way, I don't think that "nudity detector" libraries are accurate and they give plenty of false positives and negatives.

Thanks!
