The idea isn't bad. But it is based on the premise that there are enough 
users of the filter to build such correlations. It requires enough input 
to work properly and therefore enough users of the feature, that have 
longer lists. But how often does an average logged in user find such an 
image and handle accordingly? That would be relatively seldom, resulting 
in a very short own list, by relatively few users, which makes it hard 
to start the system (warm up time).

Since i love to find ways on how to exploit systems there is one simple 
thing on my mind. Just login to put a picture of penis/bondage/... on 
the list and than add another one of the football team you don't like. 
Repeat this step often enough and the system will believe that all users 
that don't like to see a penis would also not like to see images of that 
football team.

Another way would be: "I find everything offensive." This would hurt the 
system, since correlations would be much harder to find.

If we assume good faith, then it would probably work. But as soon we 
have spammers of this kind, it will lay in ruins, considering the amount 
of users and corresponding relatively short lists (in average).

Just my thoughts on this idea.
