Is there a meta tag for website content rating?

Question

A client of mine said she noticed her site was blocked in a grocery store's wifi cafe. It contains nothing scandalous - it is just a travel blog. It said the reason for the restriction is Forbidden Category "Not Rated."

Is there some way to apply a rating to web content so that it won't be blocked? I've never come across this problem before.

Answer 1

There's this one.

<meta name="rating" content="value">

You can use on of the following values:

• general
• mature
• restricted
• 14 years
• safe for kids

Or possibly PICS rating which has now been superseded by POWDER.
