Just curious about who sets the Mature Content switch for images in the gallery. Is this done by moderators or the head bartender?

i'd be the last one to make that call...
shucks, nothing there.
So, what happened?
We do not get too much mature content in the gallery, and do not stray from much more than artful nudes (no genitalia allowed), which has been the rule for about ever. that is as much as the members being mindful in their posting, or more actually than any actions by the mods.

Nipple detect will soon be de rigeur among point-and-shoot cameras. You just watch.

I uploaded 5 photos last week, and when I came to RFF today I saw one of those picks on the front page in the Featured Photos section. In my vanity, I clicked on it. 
However, because I wasn't logged in (which is a whole other issue right now), a screen popped up saying that I wasn't allowed to see Mature Content unless I was a forum member.
I logged in and checked my photo and saw that the Mature Content switch for this particular image had been set to Yes. Two of the other photos from the same upload were also set to Yes, while the other 2 from the same upload were set to No.
I'm one of those guys who uses the default upload settings. I rarely mess around with the settings, and I don't recall doing so this time. The last time I did I accidentally turned off the commenting. :bang:
I changed the settings back to No on two of the three, but thought that I should check first. I haven't been visiting RFF a lot lately and wasn't sure if maybe there had been a rule change. Some people might find the photos objectionable, which is fine. I'll set the switch back to Mature Content (whatever good that will do), but I just wanted to know if there was now a Gallery monitor "flipping switches" and making decisions on mature content.
All 5 of these images were shot at the San Francisco Pride Parade. These are the 3 that were set to Yes:

Ray: good shots!
I think this all depends on the particular buttons being pushed. There aren't any naughty bits on display here, just a goodly amount of suggestiveness about (the local Pride parade here got some serious rain, so I opted out). "Suggestive" can still irk some folks, depending on the venue, and I tend to (like to?) think this venue is a bit more friendly to this than some others.
Finally, your stuff here is documentary. Then too, so is some of my Coney Island Mermaid Day Parade stuff, some of which I'll likely not be putting here.

Maybe we have a little problem with homophobia on the RFf?
What do you think?

I think there is a problem with homophobia on American-based photo websites in general. A couple of years ago I posted a shot I took on Pride Sunday here in Toronto, on Popphoto. It is of two Gay men kissing. One is wearing a tee-shirt with a message which at first glance reads,"Enjoy Coca-Cola" but actually reads, "Enjoy my Large Cock".
Gone in two hours after numerous complaints. When I requested to see the complaints, I was denied access to them. I pointed out that Toronto has the third largest Gay population in the world, and that our Mayor as well as our Chief of Police march in the parade. I also mentioned that many American Gays come to our Pride celebration every year to get married, as same-sex marriages are legal in Canada. In short, many Canadians didn't have a problem with the goings-on, and thus I was surprised at the reaction of the American viewers, and the magazine as well in pulling my photo.
The moderator replied by pointing out that "the Political climate in the United States is vastly different from that in Canada", and so on the orders from "people higher up" the shot was pulled.
I've since posted it, and a number of other Pride shots on Nikongear, which is a South African-based photosite, with a much more mature attitude toward nude, risque and contraversial images, than I've found here in North America. I'd post the offending image here, just to see what kind of hornet's nest it would stir up, but I shot it with an SLR, so I guess I dare not, for fear of a visit from the Rangefinder Police.
