New gallery SafeSite setting sucks

It came to my knowledge that the new default SafeSite setting in the gallery is Strict. Previously it was Moderate, now it's Strict. No matter if you are logged in or not and although you have set the SafeSite to Moderate or Off in your My Hub settings. So that setting is completely ignored and useless now. You can switch the gallery SafeSite to Moderate or Off, but as soon as you have flushed your browser cache it's set to Strict again, ignoring the setting under My Hub. This also leads to the problem that not all artist updates are shown anymore and some are invisible, because it also only shows the postings that are categorized as Strict, although your own default setting is set to Moderate. There are also many gallery images that are now invisible in Strict mode, although the artist have flagged them as "safe for everyone" at upload. There seem to be some moderators who categorize them as Moderate afterwards and in numerous cases it's not comprehensible. Furthermore, many people don't know about these changes and are confused or have a hard time to even take notice of new artist postings as soon as those images are not covered by Strict mode. So please either fix the remaining issues I did mention or completely revoke the changes and restore the SafeSite feature like it was before. This is definitely a significant disimprovement and step backwards when it comes to the usability and friendliness of RenderHub and it discriminates all artists who make images which are not absolutely strict, because it reduces the range of people's artworks.
