NIPSA
what does NIPSA stand for? -- it's a term on flickr for "Not In Public Site Areas," which means that a photo that is "NIPSA'd" won't show in searches/everyone's photos/etc. two kinds of things can be "NIPSA'd": nudity/inappropriate photos, and things that are "not photos" (images of illustration, screenshots, non-photo website graphics, etc.) FlickrHelp: non photos are marked NIPSA.
except now there's no more NIPSA, because flickr introduced filters. tagging is easy enough, but then we add titles and descriptions. place them on maps. add more machine tags. mark whether a photo is a photo, an illustration, or a screenshot. mark who the photo is 'suitable' for. all cool features, but all adding another layer of complication. eh.
