r/PornID

The practical value of r/PornID is clear - a community where you can identify performers, track down specific scenes, or find the source of a clip - but as of April 2026, the sub is currently private. The closure notice cites repeated rule violations including social media model posts, content without visible faces, and age-verification concerns. This is worth knowing before you try to join: the sub may reopen but is currently inaccessible to new members. When active, the community ran as an identification and sourcing hub rather than a content-sharing space, with members posting screenshots or clips and the community helping trace back to performer names, studios, or original scene sources. Founded in 2010 with 2.26 million members before closure, it was one of the larger identification subs on the platform. Turns out identification communities are harder to moderate than content-sharing ones because every submission requires individual judgment about age verification, copyright, and platform policy. The recurring tension between utility and compliance is what ultimately closed the sub. If you need performer or source identification right now, r/WhoIsThis and similar smaller identification subs remain active alternatives worth checking.
