Will there be an official response about Party Finder advertising?

Just rework Fellowship Finder, or have a specific section for RP, and then strictly disallow all forms of 'mature' (18+) RP in the party finder. Simples

Kids or minors range 14-17ish... would disregard.. even if fellowship thing, how would you ever as the founder/owner of that fellowship be able to find out? So there is a good reason to why SE strictly is going to fend against it for any public means on any of their platforms, and can you blame a company like SE for that, that they want to keep their back free?

If it is a must, that as a person must have something alike it form something somewhere else, with a place where you can confirm age and the likes, eg. with a video interview as requirement.

Good, this is why I personally wouldn't allow any form of mature RP, but at the same time, I don't want to condemn them as a collective to having nothing to support their... endeavors I guess, I just don't want it to be something you find on a whim... The issue with it being in the party finder is that it is in a public space for everyone to see; be it solicited or unsolicited. Reworking the fellowship finder would allow you to fully customize your advertisement and mark it as 'NSFW' potentially. My issue pretty much entirely stems from:

#1 - Advertisements through the party finder are entirely unsolicited; that is not to say they aren't welcome, especially in the lighter form. But mature RP definitely doesn't belong in a public space, especially when the game has been designated for minors, essentially.

#2 - It is in a public space.. Goes back to the previous point really.. But to seek and find is one thing, to not seek and find is an entirely different issue.. If people seek it out then that is on them; they should understand the implication and it is generally seen as.. Not something a minor would do; on the other hand, not seeking and finding opens up people, be it mature folk or minor folk to vulnerable situations which can have significant implications, even if just online. If people see something they will want a piece or to try it, irrespective of the implications it may lead to. People are rebellious by nature, especially younger people.

My argument is that mature RP should not be in a public space where you can 'find but not be seeking', especially when it pertains to how accessible the Party Finder is. That is not to say it shouldn't be welcomed, but it should be behind tighter doors. - Sure, parental controls would help alleviate the issue, but it'd for sure be a complex endeavor to incorporate it

Just comes down to reducing the exposure that people will have to mature content 'involuntarily', and putting the hammer down so to speak.
