Spongebob Fanon Wiki:Rating Guidelines

At Spongebob Fanon Wiki, we like our content to be not particularly graphic, but in order for you to understand what is suitable and what is not, we have put some guidelines up for film ratings. PG and PG-13 fanon should have the templates linked in their respective section headers. R and NC-17 fanon are generally not allowed.
==G==
===Discrimination===
No discriminatory language or behavior unless clearly disapproved of.
===Drugs===
No references to illegal drugs or drug misuse unless they are infrequent and innocuous, or there is a clear educational purpose or anti-drug message suitable for young children.
===Horror===
Scary sequences should be mild, brief and unlikely to cause undue anxiety to young children. The outcome should be reassuring.
===Imitable behavior===
No potentially dangerous behavior which young children are likely to copy. No emphasis on realistic or easily accessible weapons.
===Language===
Use only of very mild language (such as crap, sucks, etc.) allowed. "Hell" and "damn" are allowed infrequently. 
===Nudity===
Occasional natural nudity, with no sexual context.
===Sex===
Mild sexual behavior (for example, kissing) and references only (for example, ‘making love’).
===Theme===
While problematic themes may be present, their treatment must be sensitive and appropriate for young children.
===Violence===
Mild violence only. Occasional mild threat or menace only.
==PG (Template)==
===Discrimination===
Discriminatory language or behavior is unlikely to be acceptable unless clearly disapproved of or in an educational or historical context. Discrimination by a character with which children can readily identify is unlikely to be acceptable.
===Drugs===
References to illegal drugs or drug misuse must be innocuous or carry a suitable anti-drug message.
===Horror===
Frightening sequences should not be prolonged or intense. Fantasy settings may be a mitigating factor.
===Imitable behavior===
No detail of potentially dangerous behavior which young children are likely to copy. No glamorization of realistic or easily accessible weapons.
===Language===
Use of mild language (such as "hell" and "damn") in the body of the pages only. Words like "shit" or "bitch" can be present very infrequently (if in the right context) or censored. 
===Nudity===
Natural nudity, with no sexual context.
===Sex===
Sexual activity may be implied, but should be discreet and infrequent. Mild sex references and innuendo only.
===Theme===
Where more serious issues are featured (for example, domestic violence) nothing in their treatment should condone unacceptable behaviour.
===Violence===
Moderate violence, without detail, may be allowed, if justified by its context (for example, history, comedy or fantasy).
==PG-13 (Template)==
Except for special exceptions, this is the highest we will allow on Spongebob Fan Wiki.
===Discrimination===
Discriminatory language or behavior must not be endorsed by the work as a whole. Aggressive discriminatory language or behavior is unlikely to be acceptable unless clearly condemned.
===Drugs===
Any misuse of drugs must be infrequent and should not be glamorized or give instructional detail.
===Horror===
Moderate physical and psychological threat may be permitted, provided disturbing sequences are not frequent or sustained.
===Imitable behavior===
Dangerous behavior (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied, or appear pain or harm free. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorized.
===Language===
Frequent mild language in the body of the pages is allowed. The use of strong language (such as "bitch" and "shit") must be infrequent, however. Censored or partially censored uses of words like "f^ck" are allowed.
===Nudity===
Nudity is allowed, but in a sexual context must be brief and discreet.
===Sex===
Sexual activity may be briefly and discreetly portrayed. Sex references should not go beyond what is suitable for young teenagers. Frequent crude references are unlikely to be acceptable.
===Theme===
Mature themes are acceptable, but their treatment must be suitable for young teenagers.
===Violence===
Moderate violence is allowed but should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if justified by the context.
==R (Template)==
Please note that if you want R-rated content, post it somewhere else and send the link to one of the administrators. We will see if it is acceptable.
If it is not acceptable, or you do not send it to us first, you will get a warning, then a 1-week ban. The bans will get longer each offense.
===Discrimination===
The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behavior.
===Drugs===
Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse. The misuse of easily accessible and highly dangerous substances (for example, aerosols or solvents) is unlikely to be acceptable.
===Horror===
Strong threat and menace are permitted unless sadistic or sexualised.
===Imitable behavior===
Dangerous behavior (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be easily copied. There are no constraints on the glamorization of weapons.
===Language===
There may be frequent use of strong language. The strongest terms may be acceptable if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeated use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.
===Nudity===
Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.
===Sex===
Sexual activity may be portrayed without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behavior, but the strongest references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context.
===Theme===
No theme is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate for 15 year olds.
===Violence===
Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is also unlikely to be acceptable.
==﻿NC-17==
This rating has no constraints on sex, violence, drugs and any other offending content. NC-17 content is NOT acceptable on this wiki. Such content will give you a 1-month ban. The bans will get longer each offense.
