- PictureXS Public Censorship Policy:

After a series of pictures of questionable nature were added to the PictureXS collection, it became necessary to enforce control over the content submitted to PictureXS. It was first decided that the people should be responsible for censoring each other, and the tools for doing so were provided to them, this way enabling the people with means to visually express they dislike against a picture by censoring it forever.

However, the people abused this tools. Instead of removing reasonably controversial content, some people began to censor anything, hiding a significant amount of harmless content from view. Because of this, the power to censor freely has been removed from the people, and censorship has been established as a provilege of the very few that are allowed to access this feature.
