There's no bar apart from age, to joining them - at least with Darker Spike anyway - but they want to be able to check that the people reading stuff are genuinely (barring a determined deception) over 18 before letting you join. A few of the pictures have actually disturbed me, and that takes quite a lot... it's also so you can post stuff you might not want to post on your own journal for fear of shocking your flist, I think. To be fair, I think most of the people who post on Darker Spike also post the stuff to their own journals, and if it's flocked, I guess they don't want it to be available to everyone who happens along. Maybe people are getting suddenly shy about their darker kinks...!
