It's been a growing issue (on Crystal DC, anyway!) that party finder has a lot of duplicative and adult posts. This is especially an issue in the evenings. There's a lot of ways that this could be addressed, but I'm bringing it to attention because it has alienated a large portion of the community from using the party finder.

The norm is for adult/club posts to advertise several times simultaneously. The most I've seen is 16 ads up concurrently for the same club, in a sea of other repeat posts. On a weekend evening, there may be some 40 or so simultaneous duplicative ads. Further, many of these venues outright list that they're NSFW/ERP/adult oriented, and compete for visibility by attempting to outpost each other.

It's a common sentiment today that regular RP venues no longer use the party finder to advertise because the party finder already has a reputation for being an NSFW tool.

Reporting the posts is inefficient and take a time commitment. It's impractical to put in 15 tickets for a single action taken in concert. A right click drop down menu to report for inappropriate/duplicative posts may be one solution.

Another solution may be to expand the blacklist. I spent a time blacklisting characters who repeated identical posts on party finder, but it took about a week to have hit the blacklist cap of 200 characters due to the nature of the issue. If you block out all the repeat posts in a single night, it's going to be approximately 40 characters an evening.

Anyway, I wanted to bring it up in hopes that it might be recognized as an issue and addressed someday!
