Yes, you have to rate your art. There is no telling who visits this
archive, it might be children even and it would be irresponsible to
archive NC-17 images without proper
warning.
A rating gives the viewer a bit of a head up on what to expect.
Here are the Ratings you can choose from. No made-up ratings like PG-15
please.
:: G
- General Audiences -- No nudity, sex scenes, or scenes of drug use.
Violence is minimal.
:: PG
- Parental Guidance Suggested - Brief nudity. No explicit sex scenes
or scenes of drug use. Horror and violence do not exceed moderate levels.
:: PG-13
- Parents Strongly Cautioned - No rough or persistent violence, or sexually-oriented
nudity. Some scenes of drug use may be seen; some use of harsh sexually
derived words.
:: R
- Restricted - Contains adult material. An R may be assigned for use
of language, theme, violence, sex or portrayal of drug use.
:: NC-17
- No One Under 18 - May contain explicit sex scenes, an accu-mulation
of sexually-oriented language, and/or scenes of excessive violence.
The NC-17 designation does not signify that the rated film is obscene
or porno-graphic, simply that it addresses these topics.
