Is there a way to report a porn portal? I'd like to think that there is a difference between what is NSFW and what is pornography--but until then, I'll just unenable the option.
I got a nasty one from Siva-guren; I'd like to feel comfortable taking the portals, not like I stepped into a seedy strip-club. Ick.

Just read your first sentence better. I'd have to disagree about NSFW and any kind of pornography being different (Unless it's anything illegal that's a whole other thing) I'll put it in the simplest way, You don't think porn should be part of NSFW link, and John John thinks that let's say a graphic picture of a guy missing an arm shouldn't be allowed even in NSFW and another guy thinks well he's really against Swearing and doesn't think that should be included. In that case there's no point in having a NSFW option at all.

It's a slippery slope kind of deal and yeah it always feels like it sucks but I think it's pretty fair. You're never being forced to take the portal, it's a choice, especially if it has the NSFW tag.

Got it--that was a hellava simile, but I get it. And no, the portal wasn't marked any differently from any of the other portals I had clicked on up to that point. No 'NSFW' markings of any kind.
And, yes, I did unenable my options--just as I said I would in the OP.
And---yes, a very slippery slope indeed; while such a site sent to me with the appropriate intros would be even be interesting or funny, a random click generating such a site is massively unwelcome.

Yeah - this is a great point - we have an NSFW feature we're working on. Soon you can report an NSFW event. Thanks for your patience with any pesky porn portals!

Speaking of inappropriate mission sites, is there a way to report a mission itself? I clicked on one the other night and my browser was shrunk to half size (no longer full-page) and a very annoying youTube type video of some singer was playing. Every 3 seconds the window would jump to a new location so I couldn't hit the "next" or try to close the screen, and then when I DID manage to hit the X on the screen, popups started showing up (e.g. "You don't want to leave yet, do you?" "Sing along with me!"). I right-clicked on the window from the Windows bar at the bottom of the screen to close it, but, alas, that didn't work either. I ended up having to Ctrl+Alt+Deleting to close it with the task manager.

I wanted to warn others about the mission but since I hadn't yet completed it, I couldn't post comments. :(

Just check out any of the missions made by this user; I took one, found the hijacking Rick Astley and promptly freaked out. One is unable to close the window or leave the site until you click all the pop-up tabs presented (all the lyrics for the song...in order.)

I took one mission, and then tried to give them a second chance, so I took a second mission, and was hijacked again. I didn't finish the second one, but I left a tag. I won't try the other two missions, as I am willing to bet that they also feature the hijacking Rick Astley.

Sarastani has had the same problem. I would just love to see warning flags all around, and some form of warning sent to this user. It is not a 'fun mission,' it is being annoyed by a delusional child.

Here's another one that utilizes the evil Northern soul of Rick Astley to hijack your browser:
