NIPSA stands for Not In Public Site Areas. This is a flag that staff used before we released filters to stop photos that were going against the Community Guidelines from showing up in searches on the site. Now that we have the new filtering system in place, we’re seeing “NIPSA” as more of a member-controlled switch, where you can decide yourself whether or not you’d like to opt out of having your photos turn up in searches on flickr.com, or not. (We’ve had an opt-out switch like this for 3rd party applications that use the Flickr API for some time now.) If you see that your account is NIPSA (here), it’s probably an artifact of the old system. Make sure that all your content is categorized correctly (photos flagged as photos, screenshots as screenshots etc), and then you can request a review.
