no, i'm not changing.  you asked what would be clearer.  in a sentence, clearer would be something consistent with the rulings of other bodies.  sorry, but i've been in Web design for years, and 90% of the time the answer to "how can we make this less complicated/clearer/simpler/etc.?" is "do it like everyone else."  when you don't, you generally cause confusion and 99% of the time, it's an unusable solution no matter what you try to do to make your specific way clear.  and i'm talking about a medium that's only been around a little more than a decade and barely has norms, and certainly not fixed ones.  you're talking about fighting the norms of industries that have been around most everyone here's life.  i'm not sure you can make that more clear.  and tyger_purr, i don't believe you are in any way correct.  the ratings on tv judged by one body, unless i'm mistaken.  and since i've seen pretty much the same videos on random video shows on broadcast as on mtv, i'd even say it's the same standard.  there is a difference between what is allowed before and after 10 p.m.  but it has nothing to do with cable vs. broadcast.

as for the mpaa, you can say it's an opinion, but i've seen several interviews and documentaries talk about the specific no-nos, and how they've changed over the years. so to me calling their rating an "opinion" rather than a set of rules is splitting hairs.

if you are asking how to be clearer about what seems to be arbitrary consensus- give lots and lots and lots of examples.  because i've seen a lot of images allowed that i thought were well outside of the rules applied to images people say they've had pulled.  basically, you're saying you want to apply a standard specific to the renderosity staff, and the only way to make that standard clear is to flood people with as much of that standard as there are say, pantene ads and magazine covers that set an alternative standard.   or, conversely, magazines behind the counter or in paper covers, parental advisories and r-rated movies.  basically, you've got to make your ratings style more public, so it can be second nature to people.  since your fighting a pretty huge and well-funded media structure to do that, good luck with that.
