Some need to be added:

Europe:

ELSPA: 3+, 11+, 15+, 18+

USK: All Ages, 6+, 12+ 16+, 18+

SELL: All Ages, 12+, 16+, 18+

Japan:

CERO: A (All Ages), B (12+), C (16+), D (17+), Z (18+)

Also the option Not Rated should be welcome for older games which ever been rated

Added ELSPA, USK, and CERO, do you have any info on SELL? I searched the internet for the acronym and I couldn't pull up the rating organization.

here's a few more I had seen on another site:

OFLC Rating   
BBFC Rating   
KMRB Rating   
VET/SFB Rating   
aDeSe Rating   
SELL Rating   
Kijkwijzer Rating   
DJCTQ Rating   

Haven't looked any of these up, just wanted to post the list before I had forgotten.

SELL is the french pre-PEGI rating system you could find it on the french wikipedia for the others i didn't look yer. kijkwijzer is only for dutch television

Do you know what the Acronyms mean? I just need to know their meanings for the mySQL tables.

OFLC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Film_and_Literature_Classification_%28Australia%29
BBFC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Board_of_Film_Classification
KMRB http://www.halfvalue.com/wiki.jsp?topic=Korea_Media_Rating_Board
VET/SFB http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valtion_elokuvatarkastamo
SELL http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndicat_des_%C3%A9diteurs_de_logiciels_de_loisirs
Kijkwijzer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_content_rating_systems#Netherlands
DJCTQ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJCTQ

No idea about aDeSe

Struck out Systems should exist

I put up a huge list of these with Wiki links elsewhere.

If i had the time i would search the site and repost the info here but i am fairly certain that it was in the staff section.

Here it is.

Thanks funk.

I knew i had a rather good sized list put together.

they olt work for variations not for new adds or edits

So what's going on with the ratings?
Although I can see them for new addtions as long as the region is set, if I edit a european game all I'm getting is PEGI :(

I've been busy, give me a few days. Adding ratings, especially lots of ratings and ratings systems, will take a while.

Oh I know it will take a bit of time to add all the new ratings, but the point is, some of the ones that are already there are not selectable when editing games, only when adding, so surely that shouldn't take long to fix?

Uh, that requires a recode... which existing system does not show for edits?

Uh, it's pretty apparent that ratings is not working the way I intended it to. I'll attempt to fix some things to make missing rating systems appear (BBFC has been in the db since day 1), but the entire system is getting reworked in the next submission system release, which will make things like selecting multiple ratings possible. Surely it will be a very complex task, however, I'll look at the current system and see what I can do to make things work.

I fixed a lovely issue regarding the system, but you still can't select multiple ratings. When that occurs I will code the ability to select a local rating for a region wide game.

ELSPA is showing up now for edits which is great!

BBFC is still missing though for at least Amiga and 3DO, probably more.


Apologies if you already know this.

The game has to be a UK game if it is an edit. In the next system, it will show up for region wide games.

There's something very wrong with the rating system, today pvtmurre submitted some info including an elspa rating for Metal Gear Solid (E) for the Playstation, except there was no rating submitted...When I checked the ratings, it just showed PEGI..

So I submitted the rating myself as a normal user rather than staff, selected ELSPA 15+ and then went to approve it.
The rating was simply not there at all.

So although staff have no problem entering elspa ratings, users cant submit these as it won't show up for staff when approving.

It probably effects more than elspa as well.

Yes I've seen quite a few submissions where the rating was an empty field. Too many different ones by too many users to think it's simply user error.

Sorry, there is redundant code in the scripts, so queries have to be changed in multiple places. The review script didn't have its queries changed for a page edit; therefore, it wasn't loading all the ratings that were being loaded in the submit or staff script. Since these ratings were not being loaded, there was no way for the rating to be selected.

I have since fixed the queries for the review script, and all should be better. If you find it still is having issues, please let me know.

One of the goals of the next submission system is to consolidate redundant code so that these things are less likely to happen. But, this issue is hopefully fixed.
