Hi all,
I've drafted a suggested amendment to our CoC to help us answer the
question of what is/is not in scope of a CoC breach.

Classification Context
This additional section proposed for version 2.0:
As guidance, content should align with a film classification of: 12+ or
PG or similar. There are manycountry classifications
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_content_rating_systems>. To
remove ambiguity, we refer to theAustralian PG Classification
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Classification_Board#Film_and_video_game_classifications>:
* /*Parental Guidance (PG)*/– Not recommended for viewing or playing
by people under 15 without guidance from parents or guardians.
Contains material that young viewers may find confusing or
upsetting. The content is mild in impact.
o *Violence*should be mild and infrequent, and should be presented
in "a stylised or theatrical fashion, or in an historical context".
o *Themes*should have a "mild sense of menace or threat" and be
"discreet"
o *Frightening or Intense Scenes*should be "mildly frightening"
and have "low intensity"
o *Crude Humor*should be "mild" or "low level"
o *Sex, nudity and drug use*should be mild, infrequent,
"discreetly implied" and "justified by context".
o *Coarse language*should be mild and infrequent, and be justified
by context.
