SafeSufe Home Page SafeSufe Rating Specifications
The SafeSurf Ratings have been around for a long time and are used by a number of the older ratings tools. Basically, their ratings are a list of codes in the form:
SS~~CCC R
The CCC is a three hex-digit category 000 to 009 and 00A. R is the rating value which is the level corresponding to each category.
| Value | Category |
|---|---|
| 000 | Age Range |
| 001 | Profanity |
| 002 | Heterosexual Themes |
| 003 | Homosexual Themes |
| 004 | Nudity |
| 005 | Violence |
| 006 | Sex, Violence, and Profanity |
| 007 | Intolerance of another person's racial, religious, or gender backround |
| 008 | Glorifying Drug Use |
| 009 | Other Adult Themes |
| 00A | Gambling |
So if you page uses expletives, describes sexual acts, shows graphic but artistic violence, has some explicit sexual innuendo, and discusses in a technical manner gambling, your SafeSurf rating code would be:
SS~~001 6 SS~~002 6 SS~~005 5 SS~~006 2 SS~~00A 3
The full SafeSurf PICS meta tag would then be:
