Hello,
there seems to be a problem with the previews on websites/chat services like Discord. Basicly the preview can show loli/shota pictures and presumably other things that are only supposed to be visible with a Gold Account or higher. Proof: https://abload.de/img/problemjckaz.png
I do not know if this can be fixed, but I thought better report than not.
I’m pretty sure it can’t reasonably be fixed because the site displaying the previews (or the user posting them) is using a Gold account to retrieve the post information, including the thumbnail URL. With that thumbnail URL, anyone can view the thumbnail, even if the corresponding post is restricted.
Fixing that would require additional processing overhead that we don’t want to spare. ;)
Alright, just thought it would be worth bringing up. If it can't be reasonably fixed, then that's that.

Are you sure? Usually with loli/shota pictures i can't see anything on Discord preview.
Seems the preview image is not shown in Discord when linking directly to a restricted post, e.g. post #3546911 tagged loli. However when you link to a query which returns restricted posts, e.g. /posts?tags=id%3A3546911, the preview image is shown.
This has been fixed.
