Used for posts showing content... BUT which when viewed from the thumbnail: mislead the user about the actual content of the image.
(As in the example above... Click or tap the post and find out!)

Misleading thumbnails can give the user:

• A feeling of surprise or of being trolled especially when they arrive on the post page
• Or give the impression that their blacklist no longer works.

Examples
