Tagging dispute:Yuri and cum

It would do much the same as what the other "implied X" tags are doing now: holding all "grey area" posts and preventing conflicts over differences in interpretation, as well as providing content for people who like bisexual girls but don't want to look at penises.

But, arguably, you could tag all yuri and yaoi pictures as "implied_bisexuality", since there could be a man / girl just outside of the frame for all of them. What about the "mysterious white fluid" does make it bisexual? And even if it's cum, does it make the act itself any less yuri? There is no male participating in it actively for all we see.

You're more or less arguing that recognizing implications in a picture is no better than outright making things up. Do we remove pictures like post #2886519 from implied footjob, then? post #2877796 from implied sex? post #2826856 from implied fellatio? I don't think we should, that's an established purpose of those tags.

Or to take this from another angle, there's often no other partner actually present in after sex pictures, but it tends to be pretty unanimous that these pictures are taking place, well, after sex. Several of the male-focused ones are even already tagged implied yaoi.

All of those posts you linked show a sex act that's occuring "right now", even if the other partner is out of frame it's pretty clear what's going on. The "yuri cum" pictures are more ambiguous in that regard, most of them don't hint at a man being present, not even out of frame.

You may have a point with the implied_yaoi posts. Maybe implied_bisexual is what we need, although I don't know if we should make a separate thread about it.
