G-rated: Any lens content that is safe for all ages and all eyeballs is considered G-rated. 99% of our lenses fall into this category. Please, no swearing, no nudity, no Adult content. It doesn't need to be Snow White and Spongebob, but it can't be four-letter or Playboy! P.S. We do our best to make sure that the Google ads and others that show up on your lens match the content and audience of your page. But imagine how hard it is to decide whether a woman in a swimsuit is considered G or R rated. (I'm sure we can all agree that if she's OUT of the swimsuit, it's X-rated!). So, we'll trust the professional ad systems we use to make their best guesses, and as always, we'll keep tweaking and experimenting for the best results for you.
R-rated: If it feels like an R-rated movie, it's probably R-rated. R-rated lenses can contain strong language and racier content, just no pornography please.
X-rated: Yep, explicit Adult content goes here. Nudity, graphic images and language, this is your spot.
As part of our G, R and X ratings system, we default all "Adult" categorized lenses to an X-rating. If you feel your lens is more R-rated than X, please feel free to change its setting in the righthand sidebar of your Lens Workshop. But remember, if your lens is X-rated and is not appropriately marked, it could a) get "reported" by fellow Squidoo members as inapppropriate b) get locked from view.
X rated lenses don't earn revenue for lensmasters. If ads are run by Squidoo on X rated lenses, the revenue earned by us will go to our charity fund, to our overhead and, at our discretion, to a bonus pool for selected lenses.
