The problem there is the insistence of filter proponents (from board down) that it *has* to be done on the sites themselves, with any post-site solution being considered unsuitable. Why is not clear to me either.

I guess Tom misunderstood my comment. I wrote down a simple plan how an external solution could work and how to minimize the effort to maintain it. If there is a community (it might overlap with our community) that would run such a "filter portal" (or even multiple portals) then it should be even more sufficient as if we would implement filters inside Wikipedia itself. They could really block images and make a child-save zone after their own definition, while we could continue as usual without having the burden to avoid conflicts.
