You can use the <meta> tag to label your web site with a rating. Users can make the browser block sites with specific ratings if they don't want to look at or stumble across the type of information covered by the rating. This idea came about, I suspect, to stop children finding porn. In Internet Explorer you can set the ratings information for the browser on the Contents Tab of Internet Options. Labelling uses the Platform for Internet Content Selection (PICS) devised by W3C. You can’t just invent a rating, there are organisations such as Internet Content Rating Association who rate pages. You fill in a form that specifies whether your site contains such no-nos as bad language, violence, porn and they provide the ratings to put in the <meta> tag. Their web site is at http://www.icra.org. |
