WOLF Rating Adjustment: 3-1-3

It's definitely still a grey area, and one that is going to be difficult for us to give a definitive answer to, but my guiding principle would be what I stated in the original post: if you wouldn't feel comfortable writing it, knowing your thread partner may be a thirteen year old, it's probably best to avoid it.

This isn't a perfect example, either, given that WOLF still allows explicit language and violence, but think about the type of sexual content in PG-13 movies; that's about what I'd consider appropriate for this new rating.

<3 I guess my confusion is that like. I don't think about who I'm writing against/their age/etc. I just write in response to the thread/post/words/what have you. I don't explicitly think about "how old is this person" so to me the vagueness makes me a little more unsure.

And please don't take this as me arguing the change! I'm all for it, I just... need a clear grasp on things lol. Sorry if I'm coming across as difficult :sob:

Not at all, Gina! It may take us a little time but the CM team has discussed putting together a more comprehensive guide; we're working out how to do that without writing examples of content we're trying to avoid. I'm not sure if this make it any less vague, but basically, if it could be considered pornographic in the eyes of the law, avoid writing & report it when you see it going forward.
