The most offensive of all of this to me, is that it only filters the English language. Every other language user may continue to find their sexy results.

That and that "ass" is an unfiltered word yet one of my xstreet listings got suspended for ToS violation because I used the word "ass" when LL have said that xstreet already complies with adult requirements by asking that oh so secure question "are you an adult?"

THAT is screwed up!

(I'm now off to make a pretty rubbish sculpt of a donkey/ass thing and list it on xstreet)

They were, I'm sure they were, but this no longer seems to be the case. I can recall wondering in an early version of the RC why one of my parcels wasn't showing up and found the word "Gorean" was the problem.

However today I can search for "Sex Furniture, MoCap Animations" and find a parcel third in the list that if I use some of the words in the description, such as "BDSM" I'll get the message that I have used a search word that isn't allowed for PG search.
They definitely were a few weeks ago - the results were filtered, that is. I discovered that when my page didn't get listed for "furniture" in the website search (PG search). Changing the word "sex" to "adult" caused it to be listed. I also watched while others swapped that word around. They were not listed when their pages included it, and they were listed when they changed the word to "adult". So the results were certainly filtered.

The GSA is quite a versatile system and, while LL can't do with it what people often imagine they can do (tweak the ranking algorithm), they can do other things such as biasing the results according to criteria, and omitting results according to criteria. They are able to use meta tags for that sort of thing, and a new meta tag was recently added to the pages, which looks like it's for this particular purpose. It's called "mat", which is probably an abreviation of "mature". The value of that tag can be used to affect the results. The only value that I've seen for the tag is "PG_NOT", which doesn't make sense to me, since pages with that value are listed in PG searches - and all the PG results pages have that value. Perhaps the value is 2 seperate values - PG and NOT - rather than meaning "not PG". The PG part makes sense, of course, but I've no idea what the NOT could mean.

Now that "sex" isn't beiing filtered out from the results, it's worth checking to see if the results are still being filtered, but they certainly were when this thread was started - when the OP stated that the results were not being filtered.
