Case in point, Rob- this is one of those that would cause us to have to block the whole site: https://freesvg.org/menage-a-trois


Agreed, and already flagged as inappropriate.

Hey Rob, I'm approaching this "NSFW" issue as "NSFS," Not Safe for Students. We love what you are providing for your users. We relied on Open Clip Art to send teachers and students to for their clip art images. While the images in question (actually that I flagged for you earlier) may not be considered "offensive" to the general public, but there are some that just aren't appropriate for students. As a school district, we must do our due diligence to protect students from inappropriate material- which often means we have to block well-intended sites.

So I guess that is at the heart of the issue- who is your intended audience? Teachers and students comprise a huge chunk of graphics users. Catering to their needs would certainly bolster traffic. But maybe that is not the direction you intend on taking the site.

As far as age verification- I would recommend having to log in to the site to see questionable content. If it's simply a checkbox, that would probably not meet due diligence standards for most school organizations to meet CIPA (Children's Internet Protection Act).

Probably 99% of your content doesn't even fall into this category. It would be sad to let a few NSFS/NSFW images prohibit that access and reduce traffic.
