Content Rating Support

Hi Neil,

The important thing to understand with content ratings is simply that putting every word and thought into a tiered system is going to leave some things hard to understand sometimes. We made lines and placed words, both in context and out of context within them. Having a rating changed should surely never be taken personally or perceived as a slight. By nature, rating content is a complex system and we totally understand the challenges folks face when trying to navigate it.

The site is 19 years old and over that time, we've honed it, but never will everyone agree about where everything falls on the rating scale. While you have your own opinions about what kids can say, please understand others have opinions too.

We also do not penalize. Our moderators change ratings as they are seen to need changing. Only in the most extreme of circumstances would we actually have a problem with an author using the site -- and mis-rating an item with "suck" here and there is certainly NOT going to be an issue.

As for a list: No, there is no list.

That said, part of posting in this forum and requesting a 2nd opinion requires that you post the item in question. You posted #430933 in the subject of your post -- but that is this forum, not the item you have a question about that was changed.

So let us know and for sure someone will double check the rating change on the item and confirm it was correctly done.

Best wishes and have a great day,
~~SM
