Package description and/or debtags. Weblogs are not good, for people can get the packages on disk, and not read internet weblogs.
Messages at start are iffy, for the role of a packager is not to be a prescritptor for morals. Package descriptions and notes in the documentation are a good measure so responsible parents can be informed about what they are giving their kids. As to the classification, we could look at the industry self-ratings, and follow the most objective one we find (blood/no blood, nudity/no nudity are not moral issues, but factual) publicising which one we are following. - j Miriam Ruiz wrote: > --- Bruno Kleinert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escribió: > >> hi list, >> >> not only caused by the latest incidents in germany (amok run of a >> teenager and the following government's unbelievable naive reaction), i >> was thinking about marking games in the package discription, which >> aren't suitable for children. or maybe better, to adivce parents to >> check which games their children play and how long. > > I totally agree with this.
