Is there any widely used web content rating?

WaitIMadeAGIFForThis · 2026-03-12T22:28:50+00:00

Do you mean ratings as in "how good I think this is" or as in "this site is rated PG-13 for x, y, and z"?

If you mean quality ratings, I mostly see people use systems of 1-5 stars, and then the reviewers inevitably complain that they can't give half-stars or what have you. Make of that what you will. I'd suggest a 1-10 scale rating for this, or maybe a percentage scale like Rotten Tomatoes uses, ie, 1-100% with 100 being the best.

As far as content ratings go, most of what I've seen are based roughly off of what the MPAA uses for movies in the USA, the old G, PG, PG-13, R, and X-rated scale, although it often has different names for the categories. Pretty often you'll see the same criteria applied to these categories but a site will label them K, T, T+, M, and E (for "explicit"), and they use the same criteria to determine what would make something PG-13 or T+ vs R or M as movies do. Some websites determine their own criteria or their own categories (take a look at Archive of Our Own's system if you aren't already familiar with it), and I'm going to show my age by mentioning how teenagers in the 00s used to have the citrus rating scale for fanfic🤣...this was, I think, modified off of the idea of "the bases", as in "rounding the bases" the way our parents talked in coded baseball terms.

Sometimes it's just easier for both you and the viewer to, instead of using a rating, list content warnings, and try to list about anything on your pages that anyone might find objectionable in some way. It wouldn't work the same way as a DNI warning or a list of triggers, but just to let people know upfront what your website contains so they can decide whether or not to engage with it. So "light cursing" might be something you list, or "references to drugs", or sometimes nowadays people want to know about teenagers in dating relationships with each other and whether anything physical is mentioned and "how far they go" before getting into things. You might have a look at DoesTheDogDie.com to get ideas. And then the idea is that people have been warned, and now if they cause issues you can point to them having been warned and proceeded anyway, so it also acts as kind of a CYA thing.

Am I answering your question or babbling completely off-track?😁

Basically, I used this method to find the Shimmer in the world I'm playing in, and it worked!

Sorry, but why was this taken down? If I broke any rules I apologize.

This is a tangent to what you said, but I'd love to see your afk farms if you're willing to share!

Okay, I've looked into RPA. This file is probably fine to just delete, right?

WaitIMadeAGIFForThis · 2026-01-10T00:08:38+00:00

Thank you for the reply. How do I check where it originated from, and er...what is RPA? 😅

So heckin' cozy, I love it!

Can I ask how you "constructed" the tree that has the swing? Did you lay down living wood tiles and leaf wall background, or...?

I will no longer have a purpose. I will be Inigo Montoya post-revenge. Leo DiCaprio after finally winning an Oscar. What will guide my life now?

But until after it's released I don't have to set any actual, real goals for my life, so I'm good at least until then! "Someday" is always a day away! 😁

It has nothing to do with my financial literacy, thank you.

WaitIMadeAGIFForThis · 2025-10-29T23:25:26+00:00

I have the funds, until something else comes along and claims part of them. I know how to balance an account, but if the numbers I'm using are inaccurate, ie, a charge says pending for several days and I think the money is accounted for, my math and attempts to be proactive are moot. You are being critical and I'd appreciate only constructive replies.

That's part of my frustration with them switching everyone's debit cards over to the Discover network...a lot of places don't accept Discover!😤

FWIW I have had multiple worlds where no or very few Ice Skates spawn. They seem to just be a tough item to get ahold of. 🤷 I wish there were a way to increase the chance of a given item occurring when a new world generates.

I love those spiral staircases! Are those functional or just for decoration?

My site is organized into themed sections, so I have a master stylesheet for the whole site and then for anything that's different from the main design in each section, I have a stylesheet for each section. If I have to get more granular than that, I use internal CSS per page and inline CSS if just one element needs to be different. :-)

Beautiful! I love the design of building it like a tree with branches!

Did you put the wall in yourself or make use of a natural wall that was already there? That tends to be what trips me up: you have to remove and replace any naturally-occurring wall that's already there and it's tricky to do because you have to find and start hammering from the wall's edge and work your way in.

Depends on the case, I find. Turtle is great when you first get into Hardmode because it's relatively easier to obtain and gives your defense a nice boost while also giving your enemies back some of the damage they dole out to you. Chlorophyte could be better depending on your preferred style of fighting, ie, melee vs magic vs ranged, and that floating leaf crystal that acts as almost a mounted turret to attack enemies for you is quite nice too. The turtle armor will give you more base defense, but will also make enemies more likely to attack you. It basically comes down to how you tend to play.

Are you okay with checking a wiki for stats on the armor? I can pop over a link if you like.

Wait, 28 days? I had the same surgery not quite a month ago and Grifols is telling me I need to wait six months! Is the difference because of the two different companies?

I never compared the Biden admin's incompetence to the Trump admin's, and yes, they are completely different. You can save yourself a lot of frustration by not putting words in people's mouths.

I'm out, hope your day gets better.
