The photoSIG content advisory categories have specific meanings because of the way in which the user's content filter setting affects the content ratings of the pages that the user visits. All pages served by photosSIG carry a PICS content rating label. A PICS label simply specifies the content rating system that is being used and the content rating within that system that applies to the current page. The content rating system used by photoSIG was created by Internet Content Rating Association and rates pages based on specific types of potentionally objectionable content that may be found on the pages. When the user sets the content filter to either X (may be inappropriate for children) or R (parental supervision suggested), photoSIG changes the PICS labels sent to the user to reflect the potentionally objectionable content that may be seen. Therefore, users must always select a content advisory category for each of their submissions that matches the content of that submission. If a photo contains any of the following, then it must be categorized as X (may be inappropriate for children):
If a photo contains none of the above, but does contain any of the following, then it must be categorized as R (parental supervision suggested):
If a photo contains none of the above, then it should be categorized as G (general audiences). Of course, any photo that can be categorized as G may be categorized as R or X if the photographer so desires. Similarly, any photo that can be categorized as R may be categorized as X.
