So I have seen so many people putting nude pieces under the moderate 13+ filter when the guidelines say they still need to be suitable for minors and I am wondering if there is a way to notify a moderator about keeping a look out for these?
If you see something, say something. Under every submission and journal we have a "report" button which creates a report sent directly to our staff. We're always on the lookout for possible violations, but your help in reporting something that appears questionable is greatly appreciated so we don't let certain things fall through the cracks.
So...is it removed or is the artist simply asked to change the rating? Also what constitutes as "visible genitalia" because I have several dolphin characters which retain the normal genitals from dolphins, which are just slits.
If the staff determines that a rating should be changed, we change the rating and inform you the user of what images were changed and why. You always reserve the right to appeal any staff decision with and explanation as to why you feel the change was made in error.
Your question regarding "slits" for certain aquatic animals isn't something I can answer right here. I'd need the context of the image in question and then the image would be brought to the rest of the staff to weigh whether or not it falls under our definition of "visible genitalia". Not exactly a specific answer, I know, but we have put our guidelines forth to you and for ourselves as what they are, guidelines. We treat all reports on a case-by-case basis and attempt not to make snap judgements on questionable submissions.

are the three I am concerned about.
I've brought your issue to the rest of the staff and we've determined that "slits" are similar to our stance with, for instance, a woman's labia or a "sheath" on certain mammals. For that reason, the images that you've presented would need to be re-rated to "Explicit". I will allow you to change the ratings yourself if you'd like.
No problem at all. If you have any other questions or concerns feel free to bring them up either on our forums or by e-mailing us at support@weasyl.com.

There should be a think so you can tell the mod about this, and yeah people appear to not care for new rating rules (since they seem close to FA's but not close enough)
