I would ask of other users to mark porn using PORN rather than NSFW -- we are distinguishing between those two types of content and the distinction is not very difficult.
As per the current NSFW rule, the admins would ultimately enforce content, but users and mods would be the first lines of defense via the report and downvote buttons and/or asking politely via comment or PM requests for the poster to tag correctly. As it currently stands, I can't imagine the admins have to step in a lot on missing NSFW tags, and I doubt it would be any different if a PORN designation were indicated.
This is not something that would create a lot of extra day-to-day work on your part. (Obviously coding it would be extra work, but the whole point of this sub is to suggest good features, and I think this would be an excellent one.)
We already have a fully working "block sub" feature that does the job well.
What would stop people from asking to have more categories based on things they want to filter out?
We have 2 categories for that reason. SFW (default) and NSFW (disabled).
Whether people are going to ask for different categories to be created is irrelevant, since you the admins will ultimately decide what to do (or not do) based on the merit of the request. This request for a third category has a lot of merit as porn is a major and very distinguishable content type. It's also a vector for attack because, as we know, shills/bad actors/whatever will purposefully spam content that is distasteful in order to make the site tiresome for good faith users. The block button works in a pinch, but a "block all PORN" feature in user settings would be a much better solution.
I'll also point out that having two categories for content -- SFW and NSFW -- did not stop me for asking for a third to be created. ;-)
edit: well spam isn't even the right word. I remember with Hans the content was 'not quite spam' but definitely was an effective attempt to flood and demoralize

It totally is (because of my next sentence below).

And you already got your answer but keep pushing.

That's what the report button is for.

You are assuming that everybody posting porn or nudes will tag their posts as porn.

ditto as second answer.
