I completely agree that there is much too much room for interpretation. I would prefer there be hard and fast rules, but as long as "sexy" is considered acceptable criteria for images to be posted here, we will have problems. One person's sexy is another person's boring. As long as we allow such subjective criteria, we will have issues. And I'm OK with that, since, as I have already said, I am going to continue to Mod the way I think I should, which will mean jihading posts other mods have approved.
Some of the criteria I use includes the amount of appropriate showing, which would include cleavage. I put obvious pokies or c-thru to breasts in that category. I DON'T put c-thru to bra in that category, at least not all the time. And I don't care how sultry and made up a celebrity is, if they are fully clothed or it is only a very attractive head shot, it does not belong. Two-piece swim suits pretty much always fit here. Ditto most underwear/lingerie shots. But regular glamour shots, or candid shots (including red carpets) must show some skin either in cleavage or a VERY high cut leg.
That's largely how I approach my work here.
I don't go searching out those kinds of situations. If I stumble on them, I act.

I'm sorry but I have penalised your account for posting via links that are not allowed. Please familiarise yourself with the forum rules to prevent further infractions
Thankyou for your attention

Rule 05c. "Do not post duplicates of images already posted or fully clothed images or head-shots; images must have 'sex-appeal'.", applies only to Celebrity Pictures, not to Celebrity Videos.
I merged this thread with the 'Hot or Not' moderator discussion thread.
'Sex Appeal' rule was not necessary for Celebrity Videos:
1. Reviewing all videos for 'sex appeal' is not practical.
2. Far fewer videos are posted as compared to mages; threads rarely exceed a few pages. Visitors more easily can locate desired video content than picture content.
3. Video links frequently die; many videos are removed.
I do not think approving the Rhianna image would be 'wrong', only that I probably would have removed it. By now it should be clear that this decision is somewhat subjective. I look for reasons to allow images, not for reasons to remove them.
I only give penalties when images are blatantly un-sexy; I would not have given a penalty to someone posting that image, even if he was an habitual violater.
