Felix,

I very much agree with your sentiments, however we do unfortunately 
still live in a world where some people are backwards enough to need 
people to censor content for them.

Some people see it as a basic human right to be able to experience 
content without the possibility of coming accross material which they 
happen to find offensive.  Unfortunately, material censorship is usually 
extremely biased. Personally, I find religious content more offensive 
and / or unacceptable than adult content. But then, I don't censor 
myself, I just ignore it.

However.. all in all, this is distracting from the point that some 
content is against the terms of service (and also morally/legally 
unacceptable).  This is completely seperate from the "mature content" 
flagging.  If you noticed some child pornography listed, for example, 
you'd probably like a method of reporting it swiftly and in an efficient 
manner to the lindens.

Tom.
