Title: Japanese Rating Content Descriptors (CERO) Post by: OatBob on November 30, 2007, 11:14:29 PM Could we please enable content descriptors for CERO ratings. These are the nine available so far. Unlike Western rating systems, this one uses icons, so how we list them may be subject to opinion. This modified listing is from a translation of the CERO website (http://translate.ocn.ne.jp/LUCOCN/c3/hm_ex.cgi?SURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cero.gr.jp%2Frating.html&XTYPE=1&SEARCH=T&SLANG=ja&TLANG=en). Also, I chose to leave these closer to their original meanings instead of changing them further like other Western descriptors (such as "Drugs" instead of "Use of Drugs").
Crime Drinking or Smoking Drugs Love Gambling Horror Sexual Violence Language or other I think there should be three more ratings, but I can't quite figure out their meanings yet. They appear to be temporary ratings for an unreleased and unfinished work. Title: Re: Japanese Rating Content Descriptors (CERO) Post by: Tondog on December 01, 2007, 02:31:29 PM Do you really want to trust a site that says "Play Station portableness", "GAME BOY (The color is included.)", "One dozen and one (The color is included.)", "(Correspondence OS: WINDOWS all kinds and MAC all kinds)", "Word and and so on". I don't think so. It would be best to get a real translation.
Or. Trust the wannabe-knowitalls at wikipedia and use Love Sexual Violence Horror Gambling Crime Use of alcohol or tobacco Use of drugs Language or other Title: Re: Japanese Rating Content Descriptors (CERO) Post by: TraderJake on December 01, 2007, 02:38:16 PM Do the content descriptors even work right now? I could have sworn that there is currently something really wrong with ratings additions, which is why I am totally recoding it.
Title: Re: Japanese Rating Content Descriptors (CERO) Post by: OatBob on December 01, 2007, 08:39:48 PM No, they are not available at the moment.*
Also, I chose to leave these closer to their original meanings instead of changing them further like other Western descriptors (such as "Drugs" instead of "Use of Drugs"). This means I considered the Wikipedia entry, but decided to disfavor it.*This post was meaningless, unnecessary, and entirely avoidable. "This bickering is pointless. Vader. Release him."
