Sniffy has the capability of reporting back to the Sponsor information they deem important. If a sponsor wants to know who is promoting certain trigger words, we can tell them. We are not going to base the flags on the findings of one or two images. There are other checks and balances. If the webmaster is wanting to promote underage content, there will be more than images on that site to sugget this, and we will be able to key in on those areas as well.
If this is what the sponsor has asked us to Sniff, than its the sponsors that want to know this, not us passing moral judgement.

Are you looking to solve the probelm of child porn, or are you trying to be the moral police?

We are a suite of tools, that can give a sponsor, SE or linklist specific feedback. We believe Sniffy can be part of a multi-part solution to CP. If a sponsor wants to know who is using underage marketing promotions, we will report that info back.
The sponsors decide what they want and they decide what they will do when Sniffy gives it to them.

Someone with the word "young" on their page is not breaking the law or harming children. Someone with a picture of child sex is. Which one are you going after?

We are not going after anyone. Some sponsors may decide not to have affiliates who use certain trigger words on their site or in their URL's. If we come across CP images, we will be acting under the guidance of the ASACP on how to handle this finding. We report data to our clients, we do not take action against any webmaster.

If you are strictly going after child porn, that's one thing. If you are going to use your Big Brother machine to try to be the moral police, then you're no better than the Christian Coalition or any other group like that.

Our mission is to combat CP, report back to sponsors data based on set criteria they choose. If the sponsor wants a deep scrub and review of their affiliates, are you not going to do business with this sponsor who has some potential liability?
If a webmaster gets pinched, challenged etc, the site becomes a snapshot to the enforcers, no sponsor wants their banners on a high risk site because the beer may spill out of the glass onto their shirt.
All the features and potential of Sniffy will be a direct response to the needs of the sponsors and our clients.
How can this be a bad thing and have a negative impact on our industry?
