Rules... what constitutes PG-13, I don't understand... Options

[*Uronacid*]

Uhm. We have Jesus. He's been doing a good job so far. I just don't think he was aware of this problem until now. I'm sure he'll be fine. I hope this thread wasn't created with the intention of helping you get that promotion.

I think he's doing a great job... but we do need a new constitution for what is and isn't pg-13 in each room, I believe that a guy should do it in the guys room, and a girl should do it in the girls room...

I believe that separating the sex's would make it much less intresting....
thats besides the piont, you see things differently than me... and many other guys (you have to exclued some xD) just because you are a girl.... and I'm not being sexist
EXACTLY, MAYBE there should be a guy mod specfically designated to guys locker room, and a girl mod specifically designated to the girls locker room...

Uhh I just think we need to define "PG-13," as Jesus said. Also we just need moderators more active there. It'd be too confusing and too constricting if Staff decided to pick one guy and force him to look in there all the time.

working on that now.

Well, Arjuna closed the few non-PG-13 topics there were ahead of me.

But I'll be monitoring that forum as well now. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I still don't really see why. I just say they read this thread and realize they must try to be as unbiased as possible, despite their gender, whilst reviewing a topic (before, say, closing it). And.. what was that last part about?

[Simba]

I agree with Kathleen. I think we just need a finer definition of what PG-13 is and we're good to go. I don't think we should restrict the gender of who can moderate which locker. I'm sure anybody can do it as long as they know what's PG-13 and what's not.

Plus, I'm the only male on People Staff, and I can't be in the Boy's Locker all the time. I'm sure a female would be able to do fine in there.

[*Uronacid*]

Well, i just think that the it should be determined by a guy if its in the guy locker room... like I was saying before, somethings are seen differently froma girls piont of view, and although you try and be as non biased as you possiblely can, you are not a guy.... you or another female mod may see something that they may consider in-appropriate, where a guy mod wouldn't...

maybe we need more guys... >.> *I shouldn't have said that, but it's true... >.>"

[no-name]

We need more male mods. Well we need more good mods period.

[*Uronacid*]

I agree... we do, and our female mods are doing a great job ;)

but anyways...

well, what constitutes pg-13?

[demolished]

If someone dont like it, dont READ it.

dont bash it. talk to the mod about it.

OMFG, you didn't even read that we had resolved that and are now trying to establish a definition for what pg-13.

[marzipan]

Like Kathleen said, anything you wouldn't find in a Pg-13 movie.

No vulgar images or text. No "indepth" discussion of sex, masturbation, etc. What I mean by indepth is...well, I think you guys know what I mean by indepth.

[*mzkandi*]

[font=trebuchet ms]Meh just anything that you wouldn't see in a PG-13 movie.

I think thinking about it that way may help us set up clearer guidelines.

If we relate that to such things are the sexy chest and booty threads in Pictures how you all think this would apply? I've never seen a PG-13 movie with 13 or 14 years showing off their boobs or behinds.

Very true. And there's always the issue of people lying about their age. Though, that's a risk we have to take. If people find it *that* offensive, I have no problem with it being closed or, as a a sensitive subject like this, deleting it.

[*This Confession*]

I've never seen a PG-13 movie with 13 or 14 years showing off their boobs or behinds.

I have to say this, but have you ever seen a group of guys talk about their packages in a pg-13 movie?

I mean a ton of stuff on here you wouldn't find in a pg-13 movie anyway, So you need rules that explain it a lot more than that.

[smoke]

Honestly, Uronacid, I think a lot of curse words are PG-13. Sad, but on TV and radio nowadays about all they bleep out is God and f**k.

[*Uronacid*]

I have seen pleanty of pg-13 movies that talk about sex.

Just a few movies that are very suggestive being pg-13:

Saved
John Tucker Must Die
Charlie's Angels

PG-13 does not mean no sex... the deffinition of a movie 13 movie is a follows

PG-13 is thus a sterner warning to parents, particularly when deciding which movies are not suitable for younger children. Parents, by the rating, are alerted to be very careful about the attendance of their under-teenage children. A PG-13 film is one which, in the view of the Rating Board, leaps beyond the boundaries of the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, or other contents, but does not quite fit within the restricted R category. Any drug use content will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. In effect, the PG-13 cautions parents with more stringency than usual to give special attention to this film before they allow their 12-year-olds and younger to attend. If nudity is sexually oriented, the film will generally not be found in the PG-13 category. If violence is too rough or persistent, the film goes into the R (restricted) rating. A film's single use of one of the harsher sexually derived words, though only as an expletive, shall initially require the Rating Board to issue that film at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive must lead the Rating Board to issue a film an R rating, as must even one of these words used in a sexual context. These films can be rated less severely, however, if by a special vote, the Rating Board feels that a lesser rating would more responsibly reflect the opinion of American parents.

PG-13 places larger responsibilities on parents for their children and moviegoing. The voluntary rating system is not a surrogate parent, nor should it be. It cannot, and should not, insert itself in family decisions that only parents can make. Its purpose is to give pre-screened informational warnings, so that parents can form their own judgments. PG-13 is designed to make parental decisions easier for films between PG and R.

I argue that you people are being too strict in some cases and too accepting in others...

I personaly think it's alright for guys and girls to talk to eachother about their private sexual lives\, I of think of it like a sex ed class. I don't want to eliminate that from cB. There are somethings that are deffinitly ok for a guy to talk about 1 on 1 with another guy, and a girl to talk about 1 on 1 with another girl.

On the other hand, I don't think it's PG-13 when a girl/boy pops into the opposite sexs locker room and posts things like, "WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO IN BED."...

Also, we all like to joke around about sex, cmon... I mean, sometimes it's just funny... joking around about things also makes things more comfortable. I don't have a problem with girls/boys comming in, viewing the topics mand in the opposite sexs room, and posting in them. I think it only adds to the fun.

-I don't think that people of the opposite sex should be able to vote on polls in the locker rooms.
-I don't think that people of the opposite sex should be able to create topics in the locker rooms.
-I think we would be taking away a huge aspect of createblog if we didn't allow people of the oppposite sex to post in eachothers locker rooms....

I don't know exactly what should be done to control it, other than designate a mod of the appropriate sex to make the judgment calls for that forum.

LOL.

i'm actually referring a few links from her.

Exactly the point. HE is arguing that thread is PG-13, and if you had actually read the replies before posting, you'd see that the thread was closed because it was DUPLICATE, not because it's inappropriate.

[*I Shot JFK*]

uron, your definition would have been more useful if everything you bolded wasn't defined in terms of PG and R, which are themselves undefined.

and mona, the thing about age liars is difficult... on the one hand, we all know they're on the site, and on the other, it isnt our problem to caterfor them, because they are the ones who shouldnt be here. the only solution to that is to keep the thread, bu timpose an age limit, i suppose, although that seems unfair.

ooh... thought... is there anyway to set something up whereby a member can flag their thread if they are concerned about the content, and younger members be told to avoid thos emarked threads? actually, that wouldnt be practical.... hmmm...

I understand that; that's why it's difficult. One thing that can easily be done is to tell people to write something like 'mature content' in the description when making a new topic, but of course, that may just bring people in.

[*I Shot JFK*]

mmm... that is the risk... the younger people are the ones most likely to be drawn to anything intended t okeep them away.

possibly a seperate forum visible only to people above a certain age? is that even doable? there's bound to be some sort of ACP expansion or add on to do it. worth looking into maybe?

im really just thinking aloud (well, you know) at this point.

[*Uronacid*]

It's age frawd isn't a big deal anyways, by law people can lie about their age... the web site doesn't ahve to enforce it because they sign the agreement when they create an account saying that they are who they say they are. Anything past that piont is not our fault, and createblog cannot get introuble. The whole people faking their age thing shouldn't be a big deal... by law the goverenment only requests us to have that agreement when you create your profile.

Think of it like porn sites that ask you your age or tell you not to pass a certain piont if you are under 18. Once you tell them your 18 there are no questions asked. You can look at all of it... it doesn't matter whether your 18 or not. It isn't like you have the ability to show a proof of id.

this would be really intresting.. but then you would need older mods to watch it



the onther thing I might like to add is... You really should be able to increae your post count when you post in the feedback section... It says that you don't recieve anthing added to your post count because you aren't adding to the community, but in my opinion you are adding more to this community here than any other section... the things you say here could change the entire community... I just don't see how this, "We implemented this system because we felt that replies in these forums were only compliments or complaints, which don't really contribute to the forums." applies...

[*I Shot JFK*]

Yes, we know about the age lying, weve tackled that already. That was my point. dont adjust the site rules to suit people who shouldnt be here

There plenty of mods above an age that would be suitable for that idea.

Oh, and yes i ABSOLUTELY agree about the feedback forum. I had that conversation with Anna(?) the other day. This is the least 'non-contributive' forum in all of CB
