Title: Fanfiction.net's new rating system
ShadowCat - April 5, 2005 05:21 AM (GMT)
I wasn't sure whether to put this in Fanfiction/Fanart or not, so feel free to move it if you think it's in the wrong section.
Anyone seen FF.net's new rating system? Don't know why they changed it. I heard a while ago that some sites were getting in trouble for using the old rating system, but I don't think anyone got into any real trouble.
The new rating system is okay, I guess. Not too confusing.

i find it a bit limiting... but then again, I find Elfwood's rating system limiting too.

It's not really any different, they've just got different names. They seriously need a PG16 rating, though.

I think so, too.
A couple of other fanfiction sites I've been on to have changed their rating systems as well, but they're all different! It's kind of annoying!

I don't think they should've changed it but I guess it could've been worse. It's a bit confusing trying to work out which rating means what, though. It'll take me a while to get used to it.

The rating system isn't too difficult to work out.
By the way, I've asked FF.net to put up a Dragon Booster category as well. I figure they might do it if enough people ask.

Did you submit a fic? :) I've asked them twice, with two fics (my application one and another one).

They can't ignore the Mass-- . . . . Pitiful Few, for long! :rolleyes:

Why did they change the rating system anyway? It's just the old one with new names, whats the point?

Requirement? Maybe they have to update because of all the kids that use, or something.

I think some sites were getting into trouble for using the old rating system, but I'm not sure. Maybe FF.net decided to change it just in case.
