Content Rating Support

Hi ruwth ,

In Content Rating System (CRS) from Writing.Com 101 , where the text you copied is from...

Further down where we discuss "language":



While one instance does absolutely bump an item to 18+, it is "excessive use" of the word that bumps the item to GC. While I understand how you may have implied this just by reading the 18+ description, rating policy is far deeper than those quick blurbs generated to give people a quick once-over on the ratings.

Indeed, we do not anywhere say it as simply "more than one makes the content GC". Instead, we specifically require it to be "excessive" -- which means a move from 18+ to GC is more subjective than just a simple counting of the "F" words... to make a judge on excessiveness, it must be based on the size of the text in question.

The word count on the item in question is nearly 3,500 words.

In my humble opinion, I'm in agreement with Dawn Embers that 8 uses in these particular 3,500 words is not excessive.

I hope this passage from the rating documentation and further explanation helps to clarify the policy on this.

Best wishes,
~~SM
