Require each article to be actionable and there will be no porn.

Authors should tag actionable posts as "actionable." Then you could do a search on the tag.

The recommended action should be explicitly described.

I think this might rule out some valuable articles which are neither. Is, say, Argument screens off authority actionable? In what way? Is it porn?

If being less irrationally credentialist counts as an action, yes.

That makes "actionable" much broader than it might sound at first blush. Could you give an example of an article which is not actionable, by this definition?

What does actionable even mean in context?

An article that essentially says "please do try this at home".
