Beyond the CENSORSHIP issue the problem is that not all adult books are being unranked. and they are un-ranking YA books, non-fiction titles, and an assortment of books based on subject not actual content.
Laurell K Hamilton is still ranked and no one can tell me her later books aren't more hardcore than Annie Proulx Brokeback Mountain. Hell I think Playboy still has a rank.

As far as I'm concerned this is a completely valid complaint because basically by unranked "adult" materials they make it so that when people search for a topic the unranked titles don't show up.
