Why are NSFW art seems to be allowed even though they are against the standards and rules?

Hello.

It's obvious I'm contraried, and I'll still make the subject complete:

Mostly in Illustration > Anime you have seen them, they are not even hiding, they are openly saying they are selling forbidden content in their gig's title ("nsfw") and somehow keep doing this for months and months without closing. (Some of them don't include it and hide in the gig description...) Selling pornographic content is not allowed you know that, in every way. No, if you put 2 or 3 dots to "censor" certain parts it doesn't change the fact you sold it and not talking about thumbnails. There are Gigs entirely dedicated to pornography, this is mind-blowing. 100% to discard from Fiverr.

I remind you that "NSFW" means sexually explicit content.

I'm going to quote the community standards:

Quote

Explicit content meant to be sexually gratifying is not allowed on Fiverr. If detected or reported, sexually explicit content will be blocked and participants could be banned from the marketplace. [...]

Do not post, offer or ask for: 

• Nude or adult related images, or videos.

Let's try something easy. Search for an anime illustration Gig, here is the first page:

(Note: not targeting anyone, this is an example. We are talking about art content not art quality)

This is everyone. Absolutely everywhere! HOW? On every pages there is at least 4 of them...it's so disappointing and hopeless.

I asked one person that draws nsfw art and they told me they do know that this is out of the rules. I feel like it's a kind of black market on Fiverr, even if they ain't hiding it's still working for them...Note that I'm not pointing all users, some of them don't have the choice to bring more clients. Maybe they never read the rules and just created Gigs copying others? 

I also noticed that most of the orders are made by users that didn't completed their profiles. This sound so bad.

I contacted the support recently to discuss about it and they assured me that the moderation team was working hard then that is why they count on us, users, to report everything that need to be reported. I am still new here and I have no knowledge of the statistics over time, so here are my questions: How can it be like this? Why it looks like no moderation is done? Are users purposely not reporting them? Any other explanations? 

We are talking about community security, even if a certain age is required to join Fiverr it doesn't matter. 

So here I am full of questions, coming here to hear a new point of view from you. I'm also an artist and I wish Fiverr was more healthy.  This is the most important thing on Fiverr to me and I want something to be done. I'm here, hours and hours to report people because I feel it will help moderators. My eyes burned. 

My regards,
