I've already rated the forum content so it's somewhat of a needless discussion. It's posted in the Headlines sticky. The rating for these forums is between Teen and Mature and explicit sex scenes are a definate no-no. I feel this rating is a step up from the PG13 rating many of our own groups come from but not too far over the edge either. It's actually the most likely rating for FF14 itself. A little bit of sexual language, profanity, and gore is okay. But if it gets a little too heavy, it'll probably be swiftly removed and I'll just send a PM to the writer about toning it down or something. If anyone wants to post anything too extreme, it's probably better they keep that particular content on their individual guild forums (if even permitted there). As such a diverse group in styles and age groups, there has to be a fine line somewhere. There are going to be 13-14 year olds here, if not already. Not only that, but we also don't want to obtain any kind of bad reputation on other major community forums because of inappropriate content posted here. I've heard enough "lolcyber" jokes to last a lifetime for instance.
That being said, posters should go with the "fade-to-black" type of style when things go beyond the Teen/Mature rating. I've honestly never even seen anyone from any of the groups here post anything that would be considered "over the line" so it's probably nothing to really worry about. This is especially true since a lot of the RPers coming here are coming from PG-13 backgrounds.
