As for Oral_invitation, there are posts that use that tag that are simply sticking out their tongue, so I need to clean up that to make sure it's really an oral_invitation.
Also, tell me about the example I mentioned.

When going through the oral invitation posts, there were several I did not re-rate because I only focused on what seemed the most clear-cut. However, there is a specific pattern with many of the legitimate oral invitation posts. It's a little hard to explain, but the character will often have a rounded mouth, pointy tongue, visible breath, several visible saliva strings inside the mouth, or some combination of these. They may also be in a kneeling pose, have their hands in front with their palms up, or displaying a lewd gesture. Based on the criteria I listed for faces, the girl in your example definitely looks less "Nyeh!" and more "Insert cock here" to me regardless of context.

I think it's safer to keep the tags on false positives than risk removing one for a legitimate case given the sexual nature of the tag. It might be best to wait for someone with more experience with these kind of posts to go through them.

I've said it before (to others), but It seems that any major modification to any tag should go through a BUR and be reviewed. It's a pain in the ass for the person doing it, and there are too many examples that don't make sense.

What kind of BUR are you talking about? We're talking about misrating, not mistagging. I didn't rerate them simply because they were tagged with oral invitation. I even removed a couple of the tags myself, including one that was apparently used to tag a literal invitation given orally. Changing the tags won't change how those posts should be rated.

The other oral invitation posts are also clearly sexually suggestive and therefore Q. I'll let someone else check the licking posts as they're closer to the S/Q borderline.

Is there any other discussion about this borderline I can refer to in the future?

I think posts where either character is visibly aroused or leaves saliva trails would fall under Q. I think if the recipient was laughing or smiling without clear signs of arousal, it would fit the spirit of S, but I don't want to be too lax with the guidelines. Licking feet viewed from the licker's POV like in post #4636687 seems like it should be Q.

Some images in post #6124121 are Q, but I know some posts like this are sometimes rated lower because they only make up a very small part of the main image.

to be honest i'm really against getting lax on a certain post's rating just because the most sensitive part of the image only makes up a small space, if it's present at all then it should count in the post's rating

Q???

Mayhem-Chan said:

I'd say yes because of the clear case of covered nipples

There are tons of posts that have the covered_nipples tag but are still rating:s. Do you think all those posts were incorrectly rated? And it's not a case of areolae or nipples being clearly visible through clothing.
I think it's too much to give Q.

Most of them certainly yes. Big surprise, most users are bad at rating things and have been since the site was founded. The rating guidelines say, in no uncertain terms, that covered nipples is Q. If you disagree with that, make a separate thread for it.

post #6250721 and its child posts.

I rated them as S to be safe, but I need a second check whether they are more G than S.

imo, the first 2 don’t show any more skin than your average g-rated skirt post and aren’t particularly focused on anything. the third one might be a little s-ish just cause the skirt creeps up the thigh near the asscheek (and a young character) but not showing anything definite + zoomed out + other leg is blocked adds up to 3 g’s.

I feel like post #6253801 could go into S, but the cream on her face and body makes me uncertain. The quidelines for Q include "innocent liquids shown in a sexual way." That last part is tripping me up a bit because it doesn't seem sexualized, but then again, many similar-looking posts on this site don't seem so at first glance.

On the other hand, post #6253819 seems more suggestive with the girl completely covered and with an unhappy look on her face. Whether it was meant to be sexualized or not (and there's a somewhat decent chance it was), I don't expect this to go into S.

Just to be on the safe side, I rated both as Q for now. Any thoughts?

That's not entirely correct. While covered nipples is mentioned in the Q guidelines under the context of "nipples or genitals clearly visible though clothing," there is another guideline under S that states "subtle cameltoes or covered nipples not blatant enough for rating:questionable." Taken together, this means that whether covered nipples in a post justify an S or Q depends on how obvious it is. Of course, like many of the guidelines, the boundary isn't clearly defined, and users may have different opinions over what counts as subtle or not (which is a bad combination with users willing to push the boundaries).

Still, it's better to rate too high than too low and if you notice it within a few seconds, it should probably be rated Q.

Can someone check post #6325425? I changed the rating from E to Q because I thought she was wearing panties, but I'm not as sure after looking at the two child images. She still might considering the crotch isn't fully detailed.

Q is fine.

not sure of the policy on fat tentacle cheeks

Leave it at S.
