We're quite fond of the PlayStation 4's new Communities feature – you can find out how to join the Push Square page through here – but Sony might have known that it wouldn't take long for the addition to be, ahem, corrupted. While there are plenty of legit groups built around forums, favourite bands, and football teams – we also happened upon a few less savoury gatherings while playing around with the fresh firmware update overnight.
We'll save you the gory details, but one Community had an image of a man's nether regions as its logo, and was encouraging other users to share pics of their bits. Another page was dedicated to drug users who like to get high while they game. You can send grief reports, but we imagine that the platform holder will be pondering exactly what it's created as it pores over various bits and pieces of filth throughout the day.
Of course, it's no stranger to a bit of scandal: The Playroom hit tabloid headlines around launch as people were using the webcam-based app to stream sex shows directly to the PS4. It was eventually removed from Twitch, but still exists on Ustream in a slightly seedy form. Do you think that these Communities are only going to get sleazier, or will things calm down once the deviants have got all of the nastiness out of their systems? Keep it clean in the comments section below.

War and pornography. The true motivators of technological advancement 😃
Lol yay...
But of course.....
The intelligence of man never ceases to amaze.
d*ckpic community? WHERE CAN I JOIN?
@AyeHaley
I just searched "HAWT BEWBZ LOL" and got nothing.
I am disappointed in this.
@TheMightyPunram I laughed out loud.
I'm going to look around for a dating community and see if I can get lucky.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Touchpad functionality next then?
Mind if I start up a community for Push Square members that play fighting games?? Don't know what to call it but it'd be fun once SFV hits. Of course, anyone playing SF4, Blazblue or Guilty Gear are fully welcome..
@B3ND3R I'm down , add xNaiveHD
@NaiveX @TheMightyPunram YOU GOT IT! Punch Square shall be made tonight and xNaiveHD shall be added.
@B3ND3R I'm on board with that. When I get a PS4 I'll join that too.
Guess this is why Nintendo controls what communities there are on Miiverse.
You'll always get the odd group like those on open community platforms. Must be a slow news day to make news
@B3ND3R sweet I best get my street fighter 4 redownloaded and my te2 dusted off
I don't mind those communities as long as they aren't hurting anyone. People get so offended some times, I just tell them to ignore it. They would save so much heartache.
You can't accidentally run into these can you ? I mean if hate to be looking through communities with my kids and run into something they shouldn't see
@NaiveX sadly I got home rather late (went to see a movie) so I'll have to make it in the morning when I get up.. I'll add you as soon as it's set.
Okay PunchSquare is up.
Sounds awesome!
@kyleforrester87 well who cares they should have a way to make the adult communities only for adults because come on nearly every gamer i know is a full adult and we like women and adult stuff thats what communities are for to find others with your taste . so why should this site have one and not raw boobs , sony never said they had to be game related , if they wanted that they could have just made every game with there own community page and we post there not give us are own to open.
also how about sections . what moron came up with this , not having a search only top 100 WTF thats so stupid as much as not being able to put photos and videos on are ps4 drive like ps3 . ps4 it seems like a step back function wise or were the F&^% are avatars i am sick of seeing the same 100 you morons at sony should let us buy them like the ps3 not have to change are facebook or use a sony app .
Still can't believe there is not a Search function for finding communities.
