This is actually pretty interesting: how do you keep a site clean enough that the porn doesn't drive people away, without alienating your users?

Personally, I like the way Google's image search does it: the furry vore porn still there (hoo boy is it ever there), but it's hidden unless you turn the filter off. And it's easy to turn the filter on and off. Unfortunately this sort of thing has a lot of overhead, which Google only gets away from by using some very clever image recognition algorithms.

Another way is that you could establish a sub-site especially for porn. That works for reddit (NSFW reddit is a porn index and nobody tries to deny this anymore), but it would kind of break the UI of sites like Facebook.

Does anybody have a better way to more-or-less please everybody?

Not sure about that, they check the site the picture is hosted on.
