Report Deviation panel expansion

FAQ #165: Do you allow images depicting bodily wastes or fluids?
This FAQ states that depiction of bodily wastes/fluids is not permitted on dA. Having run across one of these images just today, I went to report it and found that there's no option anywhere in the Report Deviation panel for things like this. The closest option would have been to check the box under Explicit Pornography for sexual bodily fluids, which doesn't apply here.

I ended up having to resort to tagging it as hate art rather than what I was more concerned with - the image was of a character pissing on another character who was a Nazi. And as much as I don't like Nazis, technically it still is hate art. But I'd prefer to have simply tagged it for the bodily fluids and left it at that.

So, my suggestion is to expand the Report Deviation panel somewhat, to include more reportable offenses. I'd almost suggest an "Other" option where users would then type their reason into a box, but somehow I think that would be rather heavily abused.

I think I would have gone with the bodily fluids option that's already there, since there is a fetish surrounding the whole thing anyway, but from what you've said, hate art should work just as well.

I can agree too.
It hard to say what is wrong when so few options are given.

Maybe like other upload policy violation?

As long as an "other" option wouldn't be abused, it'd be nice, but I see too much opportunity for people to abuse it to cause trouble o:

I second this idea! you have this (Admittedly small-time) Deviants support!
And on the "Other" section, i say that those would just have to be carefully reviewed by maybe about 5 of the people responsible for looking at what images are flagged for content.

I'm not sure they have 5 people assigned to it in total as-is, though I'm not the one to assess how many people would be needed =p

I did cite the FAQ in my report, though I'd think that they'd want things categorized a bit more accurately than I was able to with this one.

I agree with you there. There is no other boxes that you can use to report what it is.
