As I have explained in this post, the ratings (eg. PG, R) for each locality are mapped to an internal rating level (1 - 5).

For the display of your Online Collection, profiles with an internal rating level of 5 are considered "adult" titles, and are hidden if you choose that option.

In addition, profiles are considered "adult", if they have the "Adult" rating, or if they have the "Adult" genre. The NR rating is *not* considered as "adult".

What matters are the actual data for these fields in your uploaded profile, not the ones in the Online master database.

Since some of these mappings *might* be wrong (e.g. Italy), I post here the complete list of all mappings for everyone to re-evaluate and to point out possible errors that Ken should fix.

The mappings itself are stored in the file localities.dod, which also provides the localities itself and the Country of Origin. The file structure is undocumented, but fairly simple. I have converted the content to XML based on my analysis of the file.

Adult content in Australia is rated X. The classification R has nothing to do with Adult content. We need a sixth mapping to distinguish Adult titles from non-Adult titles. Source:

...and while we're at it, M needs to be changed to M15+, MA can either stay as is or change to MA15+ (as both have been in use at some point) and R should be changed to R18+ as these are the official designations (with the bonus that it keeps our R-rating from getting muddled with the US one).

To be totally accurate, M needs to stay. The classification mapping should be:

<Locality Unk='4' Code='2' Name='Australia'>
    <Rating Code='1' Name='G'/>
    <Rating Code='2' Name='PG'/>
    <Rating Code='3' Name='M'/>
    <Rating Code='4' Name='MA15+'/>
    <Rating Code='5' Name='R18+'/>
    <Rating Code='6' Name='X18+'/>

Does 'Unk' stand for unknown? I'd say it's the default region code of the locality.

Doh! I tried to interpret it as some kind of flags, but didn't think of regions. Thanks.

The ratings "Adult" and "NR" are available for each locality in addition to the defined ones.
The Australian "R" is like the US NC-17 ,the Canadian "R", the British "18", or the German "FSK-18" and seems therfore mapped correctly. The Australian "X", which only refers to sexually explicit content, is covered by the generic "Adult" rating.

Six ratings are not possible in the current version of profiler.

Great...give me a negative vote for pointing out what numerous users ask for assistance about every week...'Why aren't my titles visible online?"

I have no objection to not displaying 'Adult' content online, just the fact that the current system is poorly implemented because it catches R rated films that have no pornographic subject matter and nothing offensive of that nature on the cover of the DVD that could cause harm to underage children.

Personally, I would have thought that all that was necessary was to post a warning before viewing an online collection that the collection may contain offensive content and get the user to accept. If that wasn't considered sufficient then by all means block the 'Adult' pornographic content but not R rated films such as the list I provided.

Hence the reason why titles such as Apocalypse Now, Goodfellas, Carrie, Casino, City of God, Clockwork Orange, Cross of Iron, The Deer Hunter, etc, etc do not display. It is a stupid system that needs to change.

Personally I prefer to not use the term "stupid", but faulty when I talk about the way that Ken choose for implemented this. I'm 100% with you, but I think that Goodguy wants us to check if the rating are corect for our locality. By this I understand the name use and the order that they really are, the last one is what represent an adult rating (NC-17).

Feel free to discuss about the system in the other thread in the request forum.

P.S : If I'm wrong about what Mattias wants us to do, forget all the text that I wrote
