The issue Reddit faces is simple:

If they want to control content, they need the tools to control content. If they lack the tools to control content, they must rely on social engineering.

I would go as far as saying anything with nudity should be well-firewalled deep into Reddit. Require a credit card at least. But the twin problems with this are (1) see previous comment about tools (2) 80% of Reddit's traffic, as of 2011 at least, was porn search. And yes. "Jailbait" was one of the principal search terms.

There's a world of difference between the traffic stats Reddit advertises and what a paid report from any of the CPM sites will give you. Reddit is a porn haven.
