Dear fellow gaians,
it has come to my attention that gaia site moderators have no official guidelines as to what PG-13 means. Double standards are definitly in place. As one moderator thanks me for reporting "sexually explicit materials", another moderator basically harrasses me for creating a "false report" when reporting similar materials. This forces me to making a thread about this to create an opportunity to discuss this topic.
Keep in mind that the PG-13 rating was created for movies and has been adapted to websites and games, to inform parents about the contents.
According to The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition PG-13 means:
All over the world PG-13 means "Parental Guidance if under 13 (movie rating)", however on gaia nobody is allowed to be under the age of 13. So what does this line in the Information for Parents mean??
To me it seems redundant, but I would like to know what gaiaonline thinks is PG-13 and what other gaians' opinions about this topic are. So please use the topic voting buttons to express your opinions. Vote thumbs up if you think that gaiaonline should either change its rating levels OR thumbs down if you think that this topic is meaningless.

Is Gaia appropriate for teens?
