View submission: Keeping Reddit Real: Subreddit content classification
One thing we learned while doing this work is that there are certainly a *lot* of edge cases, and it is hard to account for every one of them - especially with the kind of diversity and breadth we see on Reddit! But the specific example you brought up is one that we did think about, and we aimed to address it by having different scales for porn vs. non-pornographic nudity. We also try to take into account volume: we’re looking at what is most commonly posted.

Too much of reddit and the internet in general is U.S. centric. If possible I would ask that you err on the side of "let's not be ultra-prudes against sex and nudity" and "violence is okay". Those are common values in the U.S. but much of the world doesn't feel that way.
