How should we rate images that are violent but not sexual? (CLOSED)

Hello! I hope this isn't a repost, I did a cursory search but couldn't find anything.
So, the current maturity ratings for gallery posts are: Work and School Safe; Sexualised; Nudity visible in Thumbnail, and; NSFW (18+, hidden by default).
I believe these revolve mostly around sexualised content, which is 100% understandable, however that leaves me a little unsure where in that to rate violent images, be that minor violence, horror gore, or things beyond that.
I don't really do violent stuff often (and I'll absolutely never ever be mixing sexual and violent themes), so it'd be helpful to have some guidance here. I'm not sure what the solution is, since adding another rating doesn't seem sensible. Perhaps if the descriptions were "sexual or violent content", or something along those lines?
I don't want to accidentally post something in the wrong category!! So interested to hear others' thoughts

That's a good question, and thank you for asking. You're right - it's not clear at all for that.
If the main thumbnail image is graphic, I would suggest "Nudity Visible on Thumbnail".
That setting will show the image in the gallery, but blur the thumbnail, if the user has their SafeSite set to Moderate.
It will not display the image if someone has their SafeSite set to Strict.
If the image contains extremely graphic violence or gore, it would be best to choose NSFW 18+
That will allow the image to be displayed only if someone has their SafeSite turned off.
Sorry for the confusion. I will make a suggestion to the owner and coders to make this more clear.
Thanks, again!

I'm definitely clear on what to use going forward until any changes are made, too. Thanks Foxy
