(put it in the featured designs). Every time I try to put a PG-13 design in there, I get an 'Action Failed' error. :sad: My PG-13 designs DO show in my gallery, but I can’t ‘Promote to Homepage.’ (put it in the featured designs).

NOOOOO! This isn't good enough if the racy designs discussed in this blog are allowed to be G rated. Zazzle needs to have the same standards for everybody. They can easily have people search by rating, much like google. Its not that difficult.

BUT, I have some designs that (because I'm a Mom) I rated PG-13 on Zazzle. They're really not too racy, but have some adult humor in them. Of course, I never sell them on Zazzle because in order to see them, the user would have to be logged on. And I can't promote them in my Gallery because of the rating. So, I'm just going to agree that the system is screwy :???: I don’t think that they fall in the ‘G’ category at all. BUT, I have some designs that (because I’m a Mom) I rated PG-13 on Zazzle.

If Zazzle wants to use the movie-style ratings, they need to use movie-style standards -- neither one of those images would make it into a G-rated movie. Without knowing a lot about Zazzle, it seems to me as if they want to keep naughty-but-profitable images/shops in front of everyone, but they also want to pander to the "everything on the Internet should be safe for three year olds" market. Not impressive. “but we feel that these images are no different from what you see on television shows or various style/fitness magazines”

Barbara's crossed over too! :mrgreen: I'm like Micheal.... when I think G, I think Disney. The average customer is going to think Disney. Then they run into something that is totally inappropriate for children and would be nowhere near the Disney channel. With the current set up, Zazzle (and their shopkeepers) will lose customers who come to browse family friendly and luck up on designs like that. AND they will lose customers that realize they have to create an account to browse the PG-13 designs IF they realize that they can purchase mature-oriented designs at all. Just like Barbara, I had no idea that there was a way to surf mature-oriented designs until the topic came up at GG. And Barbara and I are NOT your average run of the mill customer..... we both own websites and are computer savvy.... if WE didn't realize it, how is the average consumer going to realize it? Thanks for the compliment Micheal…. glad to see you’ve crossed over to the dark side!!! :mrgreen:

There are no sexual body parts actually showing ... just extreme sexual innuendo, though I don't count shoes or whatever the strip of cloth is as clothing so both are full of nudity. As a shopper, this is not what I would want my almost 11 year old grandson seeing at their website. As for "mature" surfing ... I did not know it existed until this subject came up and I agree that it would not be something average window shoppers would discover on their own.

Then again, in Windsor, Ontario Canada, it is legal to be topless. Somehow when I think G, I think Disney. Not that. I guess you can have alot more on a shirt under those guidelines, since they so say alot of words on TV now. I see kids everywhere asking, Mommy what's a p**** (asterisked out, but you get the idea) Nice site by the way Kayecee.
