Games or apps that show violence of a slightly more graphic nature towards fantasy characters, or non-graphic violence towards human-looking characters or animals would fall in this age category, as well as n*dity of a slightly more graphic nature and simulated gambling. Any bad language in this category must be mild and fall short of sexual expletives. - Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK) – Germany: Ages 12 and above

Please keep in mind that in social networks or user-generated content might generally contribute to the youth protection relevance. - IARC Generic: Rated for 12+

All authors are expected to follow our IARC rating as we stated above. However, we want to add more details about what you can post and what you cannot post. In short, any themes or scenes that is only targeted to mature audience are prohibited. This example (but not limited) below is a list of themes or scenes that is not suitable for our community:
- Content that is mainly or contains scene that is focused on sexual theme.
