NSFW thumbs aren't showing outside of the subs they are posted in for that reason.
Ah, but even without the thumbnail, you still get to see inspired titles like (temporarily unblocks a porn sub) "Your Daughter Knows You're Jerking Off...". And yeah, once you block it, you won't see any more titles from that sub, but there'll be another one soon.
but there'll be another one soon.
You are talking/exaggerating like a politician now.
Most porn related subs here have been created by less than 5 accounts. It's easy to block them (and optionally their subs).
You make it sound like poal is filled with porn, which isn't at all.
There have been less than a dozen porn related posts on /all/new in the past 6 months, posted by the same account (that could easily be blocked as mentioned above).
There's a difference between projecting out a pattern and politician-style exaggeration. We know Poal is a growing site that allows free speech, and as such site grow they tend to attract an increasing amount of negative attention (often from people in little hats, but whatever). You yourself acknowledge porn is a weapon, so if we expect and prepare for a ramping up in other types of attack (political shilling, spam, drama creation, COINTELPRO techniques, DDOS, service-provider cancelling, etc), why not also porn?
We can also expect this site, as it grows, to experience similar patterns to similar sites such as Voat. I've blocked like 50 porn subs on Voat, and the only reason it's not more is because I use that site fairly infrequently now. Blocking all porn entirely (while still being able to view non-porn NSFW) is a futile effort like cutting off the head of a hydra.
