1. A method for identifying virtual objects having inappropriate content in a virtual universe (VU) having one or more regions, the VU having virtual objects, each of the virtual objects having content, the method comprising: rating each virtual object with a maturity rating based upon the content of each virtual object, wherein the maturity rating for each virtual object is generated upon initial creation of each virtual object; tagging each virtual object with the maturity rating; receiving a plurality of maturity ratings for each virtual object from a set of avatars within the VU; tagging each virtual object with an updated maturity rating; monitoring movement of each virtual object within the VU; scanning an inventory of the avatar to determine the maturity rating of each virtual object in response to a movement of the avatar from a first region of the one or more regions having a first associated maturity level to a second region of the one or more regions having a second associated maturity level; and determining whether to restrict movement of each virtual object of the inventory to the second region by enforcing a policy restricting movement of a rated virtual object between regions, the determining based upon the maturity rating of each virtual object and the maturity rating of the second region.
