Hey /x/files,

I was wondering if any of you guys would be interested in investigating this website with me. The name of the site is Must Not Search, and it is basically used to detail and catalogue various things that should not be searched for on the internet for various reasons such as viruses, illegal content or scary/gory sites/pictures.

The only problem however is the entire site is written in Japanese. Now because I and I'm sure many others on here don't speak the language fluently, Google translate has proven to be an invaluable tool. Even if the translation is not 100% I still find this site to be a very interesting read

From what I have gathered, the site uses a rating system to determine the severity of the search results, with seven stars being the worst content found through searching. The layout of the site is a little confusing, but just by having a click around you should be able to find what you're looking for.

On another note, I was also planning to eventually make an English language equivalent of this, so I just thought I'd test the water and see people's opinions on it before I get started.

The website (use Google translate):
