Hi Sannse. Okay, so I'm aware of Wikia's recent policy of deleting any images of nipples and other various graphic stuff. (There's irony in that all humans have nipples, including you and me. Some humans, females, just have larger chest lumps than men). The current Terms of Use refers to anything "obscene" or "pornographic", but there's not a clear line, after all, those definitions are extremely subjective as to what could considered to be them. This matter should really be clarified more since it's extremely vague.

About a month ago, you deleted concept art of Scarlet from SH Wiki per violation of "Terms of Use". If you're going to be deleting such images, you should at least contact the admins, otherwise we come back to our wikis to find content mysterious deleted, with broken image links that need to be fixed. It's somewhat rude not to alert anyone about it, but I know you're just doing your job. But what about this?

or these?

So where exactly is the line drawn? Editors need to know this stuff.

You also missed the same picture on the Spanish wiki: http://es.silenthill.wikia.com/wiki/Archivo:Scarlet_render.jpg

Personally, I'm against the idea of censorship. My opinion is that deleting these images entirely, especially when wikis aim to be a resource database, is not the right thing to do. It's not as if these images are straight-up porn.

Have you ever considered some maturity filter of a sort? Perhaps some kind of filter pop-up that says "This content could be considered graphic, to view it, click here to confirm you are over the age of 18" or something like that? YouTube does a similar thing. That would seem like the obvious solution.
