# Maturity Ratings In addition to the [Terms of Service](https://docs.primfeed.com/legal/terms-of-service), this page will give more details, try to summarize, and give examples of why certain media are in a specific rating. ## Why are there Maturity Ratings? Each resident has their own tastes, and for a social media, it was necessary to adapt the Maturity Ratings in this context where you don't control what you're about to see. ## Why does the moderation team enforce the ratings? To make Primfeed a better social media, Primfeed decided to enforce the ratings of each media. We believe that it's important that everyone can browse Primfeed the way they like it, and proper ratings for media are the key to that. ## Maturity Ratings aren't optional If you set the wrong maturity rating for your media, moderators will correct it for you because we understand that mistakes can happen, and we prefer to make the change instead of deleting your post. However, you can't depend on the moderators to choose the correct ratings for you. It's your responsibility as a user to choose wisely. If we find out that you ignore the moderation notifications multiple times and keep entering the wrong maturity rating, your account may be locked. ## Breakdown of Maturity Ratings differences The Terms of Service explain the main idea for each Maturity Rating. You will find a table of more explicit content for each rating, with some examples for your media. {% tabs %} {% tab title="General" %} The

**General** rating is suitable for all ages. It may contain mild violence, mild language, and informational or educational content. General content cannot be sexually explicit, violent, or depicts nudity nor show sexually oriented objects such as "sex beds" or poseballs. ### Example


	This picture is General: Even though we can see the butt, it's normal bikini and good coverage. Thin coverage would be Moderate.	Wilma Woodsprite

{% endtab %} {% tab title="Moderate" %} The

Moderate rating is for non-explicit content that is generally suitable for users over the age of eighteen (18). It may contain some violence, strong language and mildly sexual content so long as it does not promote adult content. Any content that displays nudity for a commercial purpose might be considered Moderate. As soon as the content has the purpose of provoking or promoting sexual excitation, it must be considered whether Adult or Adult+. ### Examples * Strong language or profanity * Mild depictions of violence or weapons * Partial nudity or suggestive content, such as: * Lingeries (Such as dentelle) * Visible nipples or areolas * Noticeable genital bulges in clothing or pubic hair * Almost naked subject, thin clothes barely covering the parts mentioned above * All of the above, with or without pixelated parts * Any accessories that might be adult (BDSM, sextoys, etc.) * Visible genitals are **only** allowed for commercial content. Otherwise, it should be rated as Adult. * The commercial content must not provoke or promote sexual excitation.
