About two months ago, I began rating my entries here on my blog so you, the reader, could decide what you'd like to read. Well, after some thought, I've decided to change the system a bit and updating them.
Everyone
A blog entry containing no offensive language* and one that anyone can read.
* If I do happen to use some colorful language, a warning will be posted.
Unrated
As in the past, this one will cover (some text entries) or photographic/comic entries that aren't eligible for the E rating.
12+
These blog entries are for people aged 12 and above. Some language will be used and cursing used sparingly to none. The content may be appropriate for a reader of this age.
14+
This, along with 12+, will be the standard of the blog. There might be some offensive language along with content appropriate for this age group.
16+
These entries may contain a bit more offensive language than 14+, or content not appropriate for those under 16.
18+
These entries are designed for those above the age of 18 (in some jurisdictions, 21 years). These will contain offensive language and content. This will probably be the most sparingly used rating in the system.
Language
This will be used a warning for the "E" through "16+" ratings to indicate the presence of offensive language.
Video
This indicates the presence of a video that some viewers may find inappropriate. Note that these videos will NOT be pornographic in nature.
Offensive (Other letter here)
This will be used in conjunction with "L" and "V" when the language and/or video content will be found offensive for some viewers and readers (for example, the use of curse words and or graphic images).
Adult Content
This logo will ONLY used with the 18+ rating if content is appropriate for readers over the age of 18 (or 21).

As you can see, the logos have changed along with a few additions.

The new system will be implemented immediately after this entry. Entries under the old system are still held to those ratings.
And now, it is up to you, the readers to decide what are your limits when it comes to content and entries.
This is called responsibility. You are responsible for what YOU read and see. Okay? Okay.
