Any guidelines on adult thumbnails?

I just wanted to know if they are any rules when it comes to thumbnails for adult content?
do they have to crop the explicit material out or just do whatever?


Nope no rules, you can go crazy with it as long as the ratings match up.

alright thanks for the help :)


People seem to really treat their thumbs differently here. Some go in for a truthful preview, some really take the clickbait route, some treat the thumb itself like a real artwork in itself, cropping that work in the most visual appealing way possible! There's no rule of thumb really. ;)

The content rating toggle takes care of potential issues, though they do show on some places without the rating, like a user's scouts page. I do avoid scouting someone with all too explicit thumbs since I know they'll show there (only those shown at the time of scouting, so anything after doesn't matter), but as for viewing art otherwise: no problems.
