The team is currently working on implementing the NSFW filter. They push updates frequently, so my guess it won't take much longer for that to go live. I am glad you hung around and didn't let a bad first taste turn you off to a wonderful platform. We are doing big things here and I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised by your stay. And welcome, btw :)
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I know some things are kind of hard to figure out on your own. http://www.Steemtools.com and http://www.steemit.chat are great resources to make your experience more enjoyable. Take care!
