I need 8 active members to Join the SRK Rating Board (GDRB).
The GDRB is basically an attempt at creating a rating system that acts in a similar way to how the ESRB rating system that rates video games. Using 8 experienced SRK members I want to see if we could create rating labels for each member of SRK's GD with descriptions that indentify the type of content to expect from them.
Members with a sense of humor would be perfect. Hopfully we/they could mimic the exact style of the ESRB's labels (http://www.esrb.org/ratings/ratings_guide.jsp). Maybe even get some talent to incorporate the lables with avatars.
Here are the current video game contents the ESRB monitors. Even though some SRK members will fit some of the rating to the detail, I'm sure we'd need to modify and probably add to it to fit SRK standards. lol
