How does the ratings work?

380 Views | 7 Replies
New Topic Respond to this Topic

Hey everyone! There is a page or some kind of detailed post about the Content Ratings?

Because I recently got a Garbage Whistle for flagging very nude art marked as Everyone.


I'd like a guide, or just examples of each rating. So, I'll not do the same mistake.

What pic?


This sounds untrue, because you don’t get a garbage whistle for a single report.

Oh, it’s this.

    "Marked as "Everyone" showing not only a child, but a 90% naked child."


    There’s nothing explicit about this pic, it’s just a kid in a swimsuit.


    EDIT:

      Same with this one. They’re pushing towards “Teen”, but I would be more forgiving towards the artist.


      If those showed full-frontal nudity (breasts face-on) I would recommend reporting them for a Mature rating. Likewise sex would get an A rating, even if they’re fully clothed.

      They’re the biggest problems in the art portal at the moment both because people misrate them and because they’re not suitable for general viewing. Please target these if you come across them.

      It's a bit confusing... :/

      By the way, as a moderator, could you provide me a full list of what must containt a picture to be classified as:

      Everyone

      Teen

      Mature


      Example: "Everyone" rating shouldn't have red socks, and flying icecreams.


      Thanks! :D

      Copy pasta from @NekoMika from this thread where the same thing was asked


      E - Everyone - Usually family friendly, cartoonish violence

      T - Teens - Some to mild violence, some sexual content, mild audio

      M - Mature - Mild sexual content, mild or explicit audio, Explicit Violence

      A - Adult - Explicit sexual content (pretty much if 4 out of 5 Explicit content markers are marked as Explicit, it is auto-rated as adult)


      Basically if theres a nipple, penis or a vagina its mature, if theres a penis in a vagina its adult


      You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else.


      I have a better idea know.

      But one of the drawings I reported had nipples, and was marked as Everyone.

      Was that drawing more covered than I tought?

      Nipples definitely don't qualify as "for everyone", I think your only wrongful reports were the two that were already pointed out to you.


      I think your whistle still shows up as garbage because wrongful reports have more weight than rightful ones, I've reported a good bunch of rating rules breaking stuff but mine is still a normal whistle.

      There’s two:

        I think these are Teen, as do other mods. The nipples are either concealed or are not obvious. Your whistle status wouldn’t drop because we can see why you reported it, though.


        This is why I would prefer to stick to things that are clearly wrong, such as sex or full frontal nudity (breasts fully exposed and pointing at the viewer) marked as Everyone, because they’re a big problem for the usability of the site.


        Anything else requires a lot of explanation and is subjective - both for the pic itself and the moderator. If you have doubts, I would suggest posting Elite Guards Barracks, which is full of users dedicated to reporting and getting their whistle statuses up. A lot of them are more helpful than me and are able to advise.
