So, we have to block certain galleries from appearing on the popular pages. We will have to do this for topics that are full of images that are inappropriate for the public areas of PBase as well. We are not targeting anybody by doing this. I had to do it to one of my own galleries.
I hope this helps clear things up.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply, Emily. I appreciate the acknowledgement. Some notes/suggestions for you and slug:
- a few galleries were blocked? I only have 3 main galleries. I guess that means they're ALL blocked? My high key image is still not showing in popular galleries/photos and it contains no nudity ( it had 15 votes last I noticed -
http://www.pbase.com/hmetal/image/45931886 )
- why not implement the features we need to self-police so that we can prevent ONLY certain photos from getting into the popular photos/galleries meta-gallery? e.g. let us mark our photos "mature content" so that those who don't want to see them don't have to. e.g. you would also add a mature content filter in each of our preferences and when ticked, those users don't see that mature content. Seriously, it is a trivial thing to do in PHP. Those who don't want to use the mature content marking feature can suffer with their images being blocked as you would make it a rule that nudity must be marked "mature content."
- if your ability to do the above filter system is limited, how about just blocking particular IMAGES from being shown in popular galleries, so that my "non-objectional" photos can be reinstated to popular galleries/photos rather than blocking complete galleries?
