I'm off to bed now, but before I go, a couple of questions have just popped into my head. (And don't take all this seriously ok? Have some creative fun with your response or I won't comment on them!)
My questions:
I don't write mature discussions.....
So why are my discussions getting tagged 'mature content'?
I have a yellow star that has been at 80/100 for weeks and weeks now....
So why aren't you all plussing me and raising my rating?
I'm going to be hit and miss here for a couple of days as the hubs is home.....
So what are you all going to do while I'm gone?
Night, night...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

If there is one word in the discussion that can be on the "mature list" even written by a guest.. the system automatically puts a tag in there that warns of mature content..
I have been plussing you... I plus everyone!
gnight!

So why are my discussions getting tagged 'mature content'? Because I come in and talk about lifting my skirt and you looking up it, and you eating edible panties, etc, etc,. Sheesh, why did you think they were getting tagged that way?
So why aren't you all plussing me and raising my rating?
Darlin, I am plussin the hell out of ya. Yep, I just follow you and a few others around, hitting the plus button so hard my fingers hurt at the end of the day!

You're done already wow! that was fast... Hmmm hmmm, hmmm Now what was I thinking just under the surface...
In sixth grade I learned a joke that was about a little boy and a little girl and they were playing house together and the little boy said that he wanted to put his finger in her belly button, and the little girl tried to explain that he missed her belly button the boy teasingly said yeah' I know that's okay, I have to confess that's not my finger...

Oh, yeah, and boobs and nipples and stuff like that gets ya tagged, too. And, you know there are always boobs and nipples in your discussions, even if nobody says anything about them. They're still there. Just under the surface.

I don't get the mature content tag either, and really hardly pay attention anyway.
I just happened to notice it lately. But this rating thing really does have me stumped. Unless I have a troll of my own who spends all their time going from discussion to discussion and comment to comment of mine, minusing me to counter act the pluses! LOL Wouldn't that be a hoot?!ROFL

I donno why you aren't going up, not because I'm not doing my part
if you are getting mature content, well, complain to the people in charge, I did that recently when someone put a bad tag on one of my discussions and they removed it right away!
Since I have no "love life" I have no reason to have a mature content or other disgusting tag or discussion...
so, sparks, you have good discussions, and I always plus even fair responses - I only minus really dumb, or offensive responses....

Frankly I don't care about the tags. I mostly ignore them. But I am puzzled about the rating thing. It doesn't make sense. I plus everybody unless I feel the need to report them, and I do that very rarely. Maybe it's a glitch on my account like not being able to post pics in my discussions or responses...........It's a conundrum alright! Thanks for the support. Now I'm REALLY off to bed.....Higgles.

Obviously, your discussions need to be tagged with mature content, because warnings need to go out for those on the lot who are not anywhere near mature enough to read things with a grain of salt and a giggle, and perhaps a brownie or two.
What will I do while you're gone? How about if I miss you? I need to focus on something, and you are someone worth focusing on.

Discussions are tagged "mature content" when you use BIG PEOPLE's words as far as I know or maybe it is one of your friends, or perhaps someone not so friendly, who is adding those tags to your discussions. Look at the sentence "miss here for a couple of days as the hubs is home and that implies you have better things to do that post here. Maybe that is classed as "mature content".
Gee, I only give a positive (+) when I respond to a discussion. I do not have enough time to stalk anyone so that I can help improve their ratings here. Maybe that is something I should give some thought to, so if you hear a big loud noise you will know I am thinking.
While you are gone it is obvious that I will be twiddling my thumbs but I cannot hold my breath till you return. Drat if I do that, I might never be the same again. There is also the possibility that I will be pushing up daisies instead of my preference for pulling them up.

Oh and thank you so very much for your kind words and consideration of how hard thinking can be for me. Just reading your comment makes me feel so much better already.
Currently I am on the grass. You know, the bit that gets mowed. But who knows what tomorrow will bring, although I do admit I am hoping to stay on top for quite some years to come. Picking daisies seems like better fun to me.

Well, I don't really remember responding to your discussions, but hey sparkofinsanity, just be sure that if I ever did, I would have never tagged you discussion as mature content and would have surely rated you a plus, cause I always rate a + to every one who starts a discussion that helps build conversation. I am really sorry for y our current state, but it seems that may be some people might have diligently rated you a -ve for some stupid reason of their own.
Hope you get out of you troubles soon. Also I really don't know whats happening, cause since long even my star rating hasn't increased. I am stuck at a 9 since God knows when!!
Take Care
God Bless YOU

Who are the idiots that tag other people's discussions as mature content? That's ridiculous.
I have a red star that has been 90/100 for months and months. I'd rather my star was yellow because that colour goes better with my avatar while the red one clashes methinks..You want yours raised, I want mine lowered...it's my belief that people would rather put someone down than raise them up. Let's see who gets to their goal first....you want plus 10 points (at least) I want minus 10 points...okay people go for it.
While you are gone I will be doing the same as I would be doing if you were here.

I have marked every plus sign I can find on you, lol to try and get it raised but with no luck. What's going on here. Aren't they getting my + marks for you? I don't know and can't second guess the lot, lol
I have no idea why the discussions ar ebeing tagged mature, Hh that makes no sense! Have fun with your guy. Enjoy his time home. I'll be waiting for your return.

I owe you one moonbeam! Last night, (after a rather difficult day) the hubs took me out for an early Valentine's Dinner, and a few glasses of champagne, and we tumbled right into bed for some long overdue 'bonding' (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, lol) almost as soon as we got home. That kind of thing has been absent in our marriage for some time.....This morning, he was all smiles and charm and it really hurt this time to see him leave........But I feel much better about our relationship, and it's all because of YOU and making me rethink my attitude. Thank you.

Hubs and I had a lovely evening last night and a great day in the city today. He got his hair cut and looks 10 years younger, and rather sexy! LOL Tomorrow I do all his laundry and make some food he can take back with him so he doesn't need to cook, so I'll have a busy day tomorrow, but I don't mind. It's just so nice to be happy to have him home for a change and be able to do things for him. Is it possible to fall in love with your own husband more than once? It's all in the attitude, and my attitude has changed and that's a good thing!

You're over 50, therefore you are mature, lol. Or you are so funny, nobody takes you seriously anyway, so people are putting them there to make sure nobody will comment negatively, eh?
Yellow, that is one of your favourite colours, quit complaining, mine is White for absolutely no reason. Plus me! I ALWAYS plus you. You know that. And everyone else for that matter, unless they are being a real jerk.
While you are gone? We will all have a big party, HA!

Somebody might have reported your discussions having mature content that is why your discussions were tagged "mature content".Well for this part you should contact the administration and seek the answer to your query.
I am a new member of my lot and posted over 200 posts and my star rating is 7.I have seen a lot of members who have posted 140 plus posts and their star rating was 9.
I am not still able to figure out how the star ratings go up?But from today onwards i will definitely not forget to hit the plus button for your discussions because i always follow your postings and enjoy them.
Happy my lotting.

[i]Hi sparks,
I have no clue about that but this is what I noticed after I fall into red for 2 months and now enjoying my blue for the last 5 months...
I rate everyone with +, all post I responded and everyone who drop their responses in my post! After doing that, my blue star was maintained!
Anyway, I don't know about that tag...hmmm...hopefully this is just a glitch![/i]

Because you ultimately receive immature answers and thus must be censored. It is only fair you know. Add to this you give us information like you won't be coming out to play because the hubby is home leaving our imagination to run wild which simply adds fuel to the fire of our imaginations, mature content here we come.
Because although many of us love you to little pieces and hit the plus sign as often as possible, the star trolls come along and reduce all our little + signs as we go. It is inevitable. Those that are popular will attract the little star trolls. You must become armored against them. I have they are not dangerous simply annoying.
I have been gone for a few days, so I will go seek your past discussions for fodder.
