I'm very curious as to what kind of response you got from your post. 

It would seem to me to be very reasonable to filter out all the alt.*
groups from a business newsfeed, since that pretty much covers anything
lewd or pornographic. Then if someone had some "business-related" alt.*
group they wished to subsribe to, they could specifically request the
group and you could add it in later. 

In this atmosphere of sexual harassment, you never know when a 
pornographic GIF might turn into a lawsuit. I'm all one for ending sexual 
harassment, but I'd also be very, very careful since some people are 
going overboard with this stuff right now. (Witness two female college 
students getting $15K from their college for some lewd remarks some males 
made about them online!!!)

Good luck!
Stephanie
