Thanks for pointing this out. It looks like a lot are just text references to vid.me, such as this post, but from a quick look there are some links that now redirect to pornographic content. The moderation team is going through them now.
Edit: The moderation team has, to the best of our knowledge, removed any links to vid.me from the forum. If you do notice any links to vid.me or any other links to pornographic websites please use the Report function to report the post as Pornography to alert the forum moderation staff.
Just to clarify, the video links directed to dead pages that directed back to the pornographic websites home page. There were no embedded previews or autoplaying videos. It would still be reasonable to expect that someone may click on those links and unintentionally be directed to the pornographic website so the links have been removed.
