User blog:DontAskWhoJoeIs/Proposal: Welcome Messages Should Use The A Through Z+ Rating Guidelines

Salutations fellow squids and undecided! My name is Not Joe, aka DontAskWhoJoeIs, aka NOT DontAskWhoJoeIs!

Today I am requesting that in the automatic Welcome messages sent to all users, the list of ratings guidelines (that handles G-R) to be removed and switched with what is below:

CONSULTING THE RATING:

The rating is the first thing the reader will notice when they visit your spin-off. The rating should be verified by the author's content and use of language. On this wiki, the preferred ratings list from A to Z+. For a more specific summary of each rating, click the following link (link will be added shortly). The age demographic set for each rating is below:
 * A - Suitable for all ages.
 * B - For ages 7+
 * B+ - For ages 10+
 * C - For ages 13+
 * D - For ages 15+
 * Z - No restrictions besides FANDOM's policy, for ages 15+
 * Z+ - No restrictions period, cannot be put on SBFW, though. In order to use this rating without getting into trouble, any articles given this rating MUST only link to the actual fan fic put on an adult website.

So... That's that. Below are a few things I'd like to adress about this proposal.


 * 1) For those of you who may be confused and ask, "Not Joe, what the h**l are you talking about? A Z+ RATING?! WHA-?" Well, about a month ago I made a seperate proposal requesting for a Z+ template to be created, and it passed! New votes for it will no longer count, yet it still has yet to be put in the Ratings Policy. Smh. Oh well! If you'd like to visit that proposal, click the following link! (Link will be added shortly)
 * 2) I actually did not come up with the idea for this proposal. I honestly didn't really see the true importance of this new rule until it was reccomended to me by a few users on the SBFW Discord server. And since I stand as being someone who tries to best represent the community he resides, I felt responsible to make this.
 * 3) If this proposal passes, my last one requesting users to no longer need admins' permission to release R rated content will be for the most part withdrawn, however, users will still no longer need to be given permission by an admin to release mature material.

That's it! -DontAskWhoJoeIs
