Sorry, don't have a clue what it is for and how to use it nor being able to decipher expressions such as PG13, NC-17!

Is this obscure command language taken from IBM 360 manual?

Would you please give some explanations! Thank you!

Here You Go

PG13 Suitable for those aged 13 or over but parental guidance still required for those under 13. On this site that means mild sexual content is allowed. Likewise for language and violence. These stories may include actual or implied sexual relationships between women and between men. If such things are illegal where you live then the stories will be unsuitable for you regardless of age.

NC17 Not suitable for those under the age of eighteen. Stories may contain explicit sex, strong language and/or violence. Stories on this site will not contain descriptions of excessive violence or non-consensual sexual violence. Any BDSM should be consensual, mild and preferably humourous.

So, let me get this straight...

It sounds like all I have to do to make an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond watchable is to apply a rating of NC17 to my recorded video file.

Is is not possible to customise the levels that you can restrict? There are two rules which are always present and my custom rule always gets erased when access control is turned off.

In parts of the world that are not in the USA (yes, these parts _do_ exist), we use different rating schemes. Can we not at least customise these ratings to reflect something that makes sense to us?

For example: South Africa (and, I think, most of Europe) uses the following scale:

PG, PG13, 13, 16, 18, R-18 and Adult.

Pretty please?

UK uses U (For Universal), PG, 12, 12A, 15, 18.  U is kinda unrestricted eg Disney Cartoons etc. 12 means no under 12s. 12A is equivalent to an american PG-13 only it is more a PG12 and then obviously 15 and 18 are self explanatory.  We also have an E rating for things like Music videos and sports meaning they are exempt from classification.

Isn't this kinda overkill, two grades of 12 then a 15 and an 18?

In my distant youth (and a different ratings system) "Saturday Night Fever" was rated "X" in the UK, "X" in the U.S. meant porn and no High Street cinemas.

The 12 & 12A classifications have been driven by the studios needing to allow the audience in to films like Jurassic Park.  I (as a parent) think the 15 and 18 grades are quite distinct, and provide a useful guide.
