Take a look at this Thread

Just take a look at this and tell me what you think?

http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/showthread.php?t=2887

I did post a comment on the Read Before you Post thread, but it didn't get noticed there. Is the discussion here too frank for the PG-13 rating of this board. Maybe I am just a dumb Huorn, but this seems to be pushing the envelope a little.

brownjenkins · 07-25-2006, 04:54 PM

I like to think of the PG-13 rule as more of a guideline than a rule.

Spock · 07-25-2006, 05:21 PM

Which is why we give YOU so much attention!

Butterbeer · 07-25-2006, 05:54 PM

the MARKed man they call BJ ... a sort of cross 'tween Hern the hunter and good ol' King Arthur (via monty python o' course

)

Spock · 07-25-2006, 05:58 PM

(BB admits to not knowing the topic anyway ... but it seems like a good guess)

durinsbane2244 · 07-25-2006, 06:26 PM

i did look at it...maybe it's because i stopped around question 76 or something, but why was it almost not PG-13? i missed that...

BB

Unfortunately PG-13 is explained nowhere on Entmoot. (If it is, I must have missed it)

Here are the ratings taken from another forum (that I will not link to given this forum's PG-13 rating

)

Quote:

G - No strong language, no violence and nothing more than kissing (and innocent kissing at that).
PG - More or less the same as the above except sex is Mills and Boons style, implied. May contain the occasional swear word.
PG-13 - Sexual thoughts and some sexual intensity but no actual scene. This can also contain strong language and non-sexual violence.
R - Full sex scenes are not explicitly detailed. Also covers all levels of violence and language.
NC-I7 - Explicit sex in hopefully rich and textured detail.

Butterbeer · 07-25-2006, 06:31 PM

i think we are 'X' ...it's all in the files somewhere ...the truth is out there ...

durinsbane2244 · 07-25-2006, 06:32 PM

scully, NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

oh, and i definately like the NC-17 up there...nice...

Butterbeer · 07-25-2006, 06:39 PM

... when ya can get it!

so... i ditched my internationally travelling girlfriend / partner of a year and a bit ...and fall in love (i think) ...she being a European...who is going home in 5 weeks ....

(live and learn? ... well, it might be a ble*din' idea ... still love makes ya think ya can do anything huh?

)

best BB

**edit**

ooops - didn't i just mention going back to topic...

durinsbane2244 · 07-25-2006, 06:41 PM

[SIZE=5]***warning to all posters****

THIS IS A PG-13 BOARD

SUCH AS HAVE BEEN POSTED ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE AND ARE OFFENSIVE TO SOME MEMBERS

PLEASE REFRAIN FROM THESE POSTINGS OR THIS THREAD WILL BE CLOSED.

Gordis · 07-26-2006, 03:58 AM

Sorry if I have offended someone. That was not my intention.

But it will really be helpful if you, Spock, and other High-Ups here give your own official definition of PG-13 - clear and unequivocal, so that the question whether something is too frank or not wouldn't arise anymore.

***azalea*** · 07-26-2006, 08:52 AM

The phrase I believe was used in the rules was "like the movies," refering to the Lord of the Rings movies.

The thread as it reads from your link seems to be okay. There's just the one part in the middle of the last post that is what I assume you found iffy, but since it isn't explicit, it's okay for Entmoot at this point.

In the words of Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it."
