Up until recently I'd been tagging bikini/lingerie posts as questionable because AdSense's ambiguous wording on what constitutes inappropriate material worried me. But it seems like the site just isn't big enough to warrant their attention since I got what amounted to a form letter when I asked Google directly.

So in conclusion, I think it's probably fine to tag some bikini/lingerie posts as safe, if you don't think it's particularly lascivious. Nudes, topless, cameltoe, and nipples should be questionable however.

Kinda how I do it too. I'll occasionally be a little generous with the 'safe', like with some school swimsuit pics and such. But generally, I err on the side of questionable.

In the end, I think at least as many of my uploads get a 'safe' as anything else, 'explicit' being easily the least.

I started off only posting essentially safe stuff, but later I just went "to heck with it" and upload anything that appeals to me artistically or otherwise catches my eye (or occasionally that I just find amusing). I imagine a lot of my posts are probably marked as questionable by dint of me forgetting to change the setting while uploading.
It is the line between questionable and explicit I find harder to define.

Probably, yeah. I vaguely follow the distinction 4chan made between /e/ and /h/. I haven't been to 4chan in a long time now, but when /e/ was first created, it seemed to divide the two rather logically.

I don't follow it exactly though. I think with 'questionable' here I'll err a bit more on the softer side of /e/, while harder /e/ I'd see as 'explicit'.

How about nude loli, should they be only questionable too? because I seen both e and q, and it's quite confusing.

The issue is people are more likely to be offended by nude lolis. If in doubt, make it explicit.
