User blog:SpongeBot678/Proposal: Guidelines for the B+ rating

The B+ rating has existed on this wiki for over a year. One problem though, it doesn't have any guidelines… Let's fix that.

Today I am proposing a set of guidelines for the B+ rating. Keep in mind the B+ rating is 10+.

Discrimination
Discriminatory language is only acceptable if clearly disapproved of or in an educational or historical context. Discriminatory behaviour is acceptable as long as it's mild and clearly not condoned. Aggressive discriminatory language or behaviour is not acceptable even if it's not endorsed by the work.

Drugs
References to illegal drugs or drug misuse must be brief, not glamorised, and no instructional detail is given. Or carry a suitable anti-drug message.

Horror
Frightening sequences should not be prolonged or potentially disturbing.

Imitable behavior
Potentially dangerous behaviour should not be detailed or appear pain-free. No glamorisation of easily accessible weapons.

Language
Moderate language such as 'shit', 'dick', and 'bitch' must be used infrequently (five times or less total of moderate language per episode of a B+ spinoff). Sexual language is not permitted.

Nudity
Only natural nudity, no sexual context.

Sex
Mild sex references and innuendo only is allowed without restriction, but sexual activity cannot be portrayed.

Theme
Mature themes can be mentioned, but should be mentioned in a way appropriate for pre-teenagers. Serious issues such as domestic violence should only be mentioned in a way that does not condone such behaviour.

Violence
Moderate violence must not dwell on blood or graphic details unless it is very clear such violence should not be condoned.

That is all.
