Just to clarify this a little, because I agree the communication has been less clear than I think anyone would like.

You are not allowed to name pornsites by name. You can abbreviate if you want to discuss them (The Hub, PH, OF, XV, SB, The Bank, XH, The Hamster would all be acceptable abbreviations for a handful of common sites) and be fine.

As for what consistitues a pornsite, some are obvious (The Hub for instance). Others are a bit trickier but can ultimately boil down to "Is the site predominantly an adult content site?" This is why Patreon is okay and OF is not, despite being similar services. For better or worse, OF is used primarily for adult content and is primarily known for adult content. There might be a day where OF's user base offers a diverse enough offering where we would reconsider this distinction, but that isn't now. And furthermore, I'm not sure I have seen OF discussion yet that wasn't about adult content creators. Again you are free to discuss, just please abbreviate appropriately.

Sites like Reddit and Twitter are mentionable because despite hosting adult material, they are not predominantly adult content sites. That being said, linking to adult content subreddits or Twitters will be treated the same as having linked to an adult content site.

You are allowed to mention the names of adult content creators and professionals so long as you don't link to any of their work.

And please know that the moderation team is aware this doesn't have ideal clarity just yet. We are working on ways to make it more clear going forward. Likewise our moderation directive is to educate not punish, so pornsite mentions will result in NKLs explaining the rules as opposed to harsher sentences.

I hope that helps.
