Dear Monks,

I run a site where I would like to add ads from Google AdSense. They require the site to not contain pornography. However, I host contests in creating images and I want to let the contestants send whatever they please.

So I thought I'd just let people flag their and other's creations as porn or clean and based on the flags, I'd determine whether a user-submitted picture is porn or not. If it was, and the viewing user preferred to see such content, Google ads would not be shown.

Firstly, do you think this is a good way to go?
Secondly, do you know of any such system already programmed, so I wouldn't need to reinvent the wheel?

This is exactly how I plan to do it:

Input

  1. An admin can hard-set the status of a submission to porn / clean.
  2. The author can flag the submission as porn / clean.
  3. The owner of the contest can flag a submission as porn / clean.
  4. A regular user can flag a submission as porn / clean.

Submission states
A submission can be:

  1. Clean
  2. Undecided
  3. Porn

Resolution

When enough submissions are flagged and decided by admins, I could train a statistical model to decide porn / clean status based on non-admin flags.

...so, what do you think?
