I can only think that it will bring our overall ratings down.

    Pearldiver, I agree with you on this one.  It's one thing if you want to screw around in the forums, but to create hubs that are not only laced with random sexual keywords, but contain nothing but is not writing.  Hubs like those and hubs with nothing but pictures of fat Indian Bollywood whores do nothing but cheapen this entire site.  How can real writers be taken seriously when their work is sandwiched between subpar wannabe softcore porn.  Hey I'll be the first one to say that there is a time and place for porn, but this isn't it.

       I see where you're coming from, and I hate censorship as well.  Yeah while popularity of those hubs my fade, the author (if you can call them that) can leave those hubs up as long as they want.  Threads in the forum are one thing.  They're can be a place to screw around and not taken seriously, but after that it fades away and is gone.  Hubs only fade away after the author deletes them.
       
       I've lost quite a few freelance jobs just for mentioning I have written on Hub Pages.  I've been told that the jobs are more geared to serious writers with proven talent.  That is the kind of reputation Hub Pages is getting.  As soon as I took this site off my resume, I started getting more jobs.

    As an additional note, I actually do think that "censorship" is important when material conflicts with the intent. For example, you wouldn't blog about horse racing at itunes, even if blogs did become a part of itunes. The two are completely incompatible.
    
    So call it censorship if you want, but what really is happening is that we are being infiltrated with irrelevant material which reduces our credibility as writers. That isn't so much censorship as it is "category appropriate." HP is not a porn site, but the more that porn shows up, the more we'll be listed in those searches.

    Some really good points made here. Thanks everyone for your input. We've all spent a great deal of time here having our writing association developed with search engines. The points made by Blood, Daniel and the Ladies earlier are very concerning, as it is this very example in this thread that dilutes the professionalism of the site & therefore the perceived quality of its writers; when 'cleaning up' the trash is so easy to do.
    
    Facts are HP has held a position of a quality site; if that reputation is slipping, then so is yours by mere association.
    As far as $'s are concerned; it is not so commercially astute to grow in such a way that your advantage is negatively eroded by factors that you have the ability to control at the point of posting.
    
    It's not repression, it is commonsense. If it comes down to wanting to publish trash.... buy your own site and go for it, without degrading the quality that is produced by others.

       It really depends on your motives for being here, doesn't it?
       I mean, if your motive is just for fun and you really don't care what else is here, then fine. But the question is, is that the intention of this site? Is it just for fun, and is it potporri/free-for-all, or is this a place for writers who want to continue to have a voice, hone their skills and make a few bucks? For me it's the latter. I like the diversity here, but I don't want my writings to be stuck in a mire by association because there are so many sloppy/irrelevant/spammer writers here, also.
       
       I agree that repression is not the issue. Every site on the net is going to get hit with spammers, porn bots and who knows what else, but if they want to retain their original purpose and integrity, they have to do some "police" work to keep it the way it was intended.
       
       This not about censorship or repression to me. It's about trying to keep this site a legitimate place for writers, who can, by association, rank high in search engines. That's why I'm here. I have nothing against porn. It's just that this is not that site. At least that's what I read in the materials for those wanting to sign up for HP.

             I used to have this problem too CW, at least in my head. 
             
             Thanks for this forum post Pearldiver.  I feel like these kinds of hubs de-value HubPages on my "resume".

    Far from being a prude, but don't like seeing that kind of stuff here.  I'm sure there are other web sites that are more appropriate for that kind of stuff.

    Its unfortunate that calling any kind of attention to the perverts and porno nuts just gives them more fuel - like that hub on porno with all the lovely photos of pretty girls?  ya know?  Can we just ignore that stuff and get on with our humorous bon mots? (whatever that is.)

    I missed all the hubs listed here, and am also a bit disappointed that they are here on hubpages. My writing is poor enough without getting down to that standard!
    Serious writers who write widely as many of us do, don't want to get lost amongst this stuff. It is a worry for the reputation of hubpages as a place to find quality articles too, and that is my biggest concern.

    yes, i keep reading something about "bad neighborhoods" and google's feelings toward them...
    
    however, it seems the owners of the plantation expect the hired help to clean up the trash.
