The rating system that I will use rating the fics I'll add here, will be the one that is created for specifically for fiction.
This rating system is also the same that for example Fanfiction.net is using.
If you want to know more about this rating system, go here: www.fictionratings.com/
The reason why I will use this rating system is this: there has been a lot of discussion about MPAA's 'attacks' against non-profit fanficton sites, and demanding these people to stop using their rating system (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17). This rating system is well-known, but originally made for movies, so it has nothing to do with fanfiction.
Some unlucky individuals have received 'nice' letters from MPAA, and I don't wanna be in that positions. I don't think my site ever will be so big that MPAA would direct their eyes on this site, but let's secure every corner that there isn't any complaints from them.
So, from this moment, I will be using the Fiction Rating when I add any fanfiction here.
If I'm publishing fics from various authors for them, I won't change their original ratings, but I will put the Fiction Rating on author/fic page at the Bookshelf.
I hope and demand that every one of you who will/have put their own stories here, will change their fic ratings. You can keep the old rating system on your story pages if the fics are on your own website server, but you HAVE TO use the Fiction Rating on my board's AUTHOR or STORY page.
I hope you all will take this very seriously. I don't wanna close this site because someone won't follow my orders or because someone thinks this is very ridiculous thing to do. I know this whole thing sounds very ridiculous, but I'm trying to make these changes before this place is too big and I can't control this anymore. Or before I will get any letters or before this site will be taken down because of the copyright laws that has been broken.
Please, be kind and take my orders seriously.
