We've had yet another unsuitable post on Worldbuilding.
The title was innocent enough:
I'm think of making steam punk/fansty hybrid do you have any suggestions
The body of the question contained this unsuitable text:
Porn movie in which individuals excrete fecal matter and play with, rub it over each other, or eat it. People who indulge in this are called Scat lovers, Scatophiliacs, and Coprophiliacs Commonly found in Brazilian, Japanese, and German pornography. Two girls One Cup was a scat porn video in Brazil.
Then two very graphic scatological pornographic pictures which I'll not reproduce here.
Issue:
It's plainly unsuited to any stack on the network, there are restrictions for this sort of content which make it illegal to produce or possess in many countries including in parts of the EU.
It is not age-suitable for the minimum age requirements of joining to become a member here even in areas where it's legal.
Age verification is not sought on becoming a contributor to the network.
Viewing this content is possible even without joining.
I immediately flagged as unsuitable - after 35 minutes it was still viewable. It's since been edited to obscure the content, but not everyone can do that.
A report to Charcoal HQ using the appropriate syntax can be almost immediately effective, but isn't known about by many members or passers-by. The post can "hang around" for an indeterminate length of time.
Possible (? not sure when that can happen) indexing by search engines permanently associating this content with the network.
Feature requests:
Is there the possibility of the rather obvious textual content triggering the post to be unavailable to not-logged-in viewers and non-curators until the post can be cleared as suitable?
Image recognition technology is capable of identifying such things, could a filter by picture be implemented to put suspect pictures/posts containing them in a holding pattern until they can be cleared?
If not already implemented, please create a filter preventing indexing of such content until it's been vetted by a minimum of one trusted member or some other exception filter.
There's plenty of well-developed image recognition filters emerging on the market, and if the company is prepared to invest in child-protection, (I think they should, it's going to be big) and SE being an early adopter would be a marketing point in their favour.
