Excellent post. Regarding the following observation: "A policy was
promulgated that “adult†items
would be removed from the sales rankings and thus rendered
invisible to general search.
It would not surprise me at all if this was a technically driven
decision at least in part. From an IT standpoint, it was probably
much easier to remove the rankings to short-circuit the search than
to make more substantial technical changes. One more thing to add
to the list of mistakes.
