At the moment on the majority of pages the 'Rating' is the US MPAA classification, however it can be different in different countries.

Should we just by default us the MPAA rating or should have other ratings as well?

My suggestion would be to have the MPAA rating on all pages and then ratings for other countries if the film/tv show was produced in such a country, especially if it is in the native language.

What do others think?

I am glad you brought that up.

I think that's a great idea.

Personally, I think it's something that could easily be left out. I live in England so I'm not really interested in what the rating the MPAA has given to a film and I doubt most Americans would care much about which BBFC rating a film has. IMDB is the place you go if you want to know all the details about a film. But I think it's fine to list a film's main cast on a IMPDB page

I am starting to think the same thing. Leaving the ratings out. Plus it's going to be different for every country. Unless someone says differently, I think we will edit the New users page to reflect the change.

I do still like having some of the main cast on each page as well as a brief synopsis. Let's just please keep it to the main cast. I really don't think we need more than 4 or 5 cast members.

So we're agreed to leave out ratings? I can change the new users page then.

I agree that cast list should be kept to around 5 main cast members. Obviously these are minor points and not the main objective of the site but would be good to keep it clean.

If you in agreement, then yes, let's go ahead and update the page.
