This is a quote from [Bad username or site: ”sageness” @ livejournal.com]’s journal entry explaining why we’re trying out a new rating system.
Quite a while back, I ran a poll on ratings for fiction. The MPAA ratings won across the board for recommended rating style, but that was before they started sending cease and desist letters to prominent fanfic authors.
Not that they’d ever stumble across the Big Echoey mind you, but personally I like the number system a lot. Here’s the entire post if you want to check it out.
