Avoiding for the moment the issue of if its acceptable or not to post controversial stuff if it has a warning (which is none of my business), "Rated R" only makes sense if you have been exposed to a culture which uses that particular rating system. Personally I've got no idea what "R" implies. It could just as easily be Really Good, Rude, Romantic or Right For Kids as far as I'm concerned!Originally posted by Ajay Mathew:
Had posted a topic titled Rated R Bra which was deleted.
... with the title mentioning a rating.

Dave, should you care, more info can be found here.
But more to your point - seems like there are lots of culturally specific terms in subject lines, and rated R is just one. Me, I'd like some consistent way of marking those boring cricket and soccer (yeah, football - whatever) threads. They typically use unfamiliar terms, and I don't know what I'm getting into until I open the thread - at which point I'm immediately in danger of falling asleep. But I manage.
For threads? No. It seems the rules of MD prohibit any kind of offensive postings, so we don't need to be warned about them.
Even for those familiar with MPAA ratings, Rated R is rather vague. But at least it's short. Got a particular term you'd prefer to see used here?
