Release filtering issues

First of all, I want to thank the staff for putting so much effort in managing things, I have found some very nice manga on this site.
On the other hand, I have been having some issues with the release filtering system. I decided to filter out certain genres like Hentai, but many of the groups releasing this stuff never bother to even specify/create a profile for their release, so it shows up in my manga list. Now I know that since they do not have a profile, there are no links for the manga, but aren't groups supposed to make a page for their release ? (Yes, I am a minimalist in many ways, and some the names alone irk/creep me out)

Hey,
I was like you Lafcadio when I first started using the filter system here, but there's nothing that can really be done about besides adding the title yourself. Of course, when you add them you would need to be thorough with the information.
Otherwise, all i could suggest for you would be to recognize which groups release those unwanted genres; though, this is not full proof as they sometimes release sfw titles (such as the group The Rabbit Reich), because some work for commissions on almost any title (Brolen is an example of this).
I also suggest you stay away from most djs (doujinshi) titles... as most are Hentai (though again not all are).

Oh, I see. Didn't know about that.

Yeah, that's what I learned through experience...

Most Yaoi scanlators tend to create a page for new series and so get filtered out and that includes BL doujins, Hentai on the other hands doesn't usually. You can eventually recognize which groups like SaHa, One of a Kind Productions, Doujin-Moe and Desudesu mostly do Hentai and avoid them. Unfortunately Hentai titles can sometimes be pretty jarring on their own for example, some recent unfiltered titles:
Queen's Blade dj - Alleyne's Millenial Fuck
To Aru Kagagu no Railgun dj - To Aru Kuroko no Vibrator
Hyper Nurse Painkiller Kotone-chan
K-ON! dj - Pony-On
Genshiken dj - Why am I a Sex Slave?
Monster Hunter dj - Big Breast Hunter 2
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun dj - A Certain Pair of Kuroko’s Electric Panties
that either use adult words or stir up images some people would rather not think about like incest. I read pretty much anything from seinen to yaoi and I've even read some Hentai out of curiosity and I still cringe when I see some of the titles, especially when I think of 10-yr-olds on the site. However, I think the only way to prevent them from showing on the release page though would have to be a filter for genre-less/page-less series.
