I'm sorry we are putting more energy
into what should be banned from commons instead of searching
for mechanisms to protect those readers who would prefer to
stay away from such content.
I mean, I understand the problem with paedophilia, and why
it needs to be kept outside wikimedia projects, but I think
it is equally important to provide with the means to present
the content to users in their desired level of exposure;
tagging, collapsing and hiding graphic content would do the
trick, and it is technologically straightforward.
Cheers,

Such a system was indeed among the recommendations put forward by the 2010
Wikimedia Study of Controversial Content, paralleling similar systems in
place at major sites such as Google, youtube and flickr.

As for the Commons sexual content policy poll: there are currently 144
editors in support, and 138 opposing adoption of the policy. The community
is almost exactly split down the middle.
