[Mycroft] IMPORTANT: Adult search engine plugins NOT allowed on mycroft

[Erich Reto Iseli]

Hello all,

I've received an E-Mail from the mozdev admins about the adult category.

There was also a complaint e-mail from somebody who didn't click on 
adult but still saw some of thes adult plugins (this happens if the 
plugin has been newly added or also if you search for something like 
"babelfish" and just enter "bab", then you will also find "babe" and 
related stuff.

I know we discussed this topic many times but now I really do realize it 
is too hot an issue and we cannot host these plugins on mycroft. If 
somebody is interested to host them on their personal site I won't 
complain at all. However, we cannot make a link to that site either.

INSTRUCTIONS TO MYCROFT STAFF: Please physically remove the affected 
plugins and especially, make a note on the upload system that adult and 
other objectionable plugins will not be hosted on our system and will be 
deleted immediately when detected.

Thanks

ricky
