The fact of the matter is, there is a sort of mood for allowing writers to do more, as some of us aren't necessarily 13 anymore, but 16, 17 maybe even. We are going to have limits, we're gonna have a line saying "You can get close to the line, but you can't cross it", and we're going to decide as a community how much we're going to allow. If it makes you feel better, I personally don't think we need to get to TV-MA/Rated R level projects, I think TV-14/PG-13 is a good stopping point. It allows you to do more without going crazy. So for those who are saying "no TV-MA", I would agree with you on that.

We're letting writers do more, but we're not going to let writers do whatever they want (for example, we're not allowing Flowers in the Wind-type of relationships, that's too much. But I think there are some things that we can start allowing, and that's why we're going to have a template for this. So you know what to expect before you start reading. You'll see "Oh it's TV-14/PG-13", and then make a choice if to read it or not.

One more thing: The changes need to be gradual. So if we allow characters over the age of 21 to start drinking, they need to not start off with a beer and have ten beers by the time the episode is done. An occasional drink, maybe for a special event like a birthday would be acceptable. Or one beer. As we decide as a community what to allow and how much to allow it, the administration is going to have to work with our policies and with the community on creating a new way to handle these subjects.

We're allowing more, but if we're going to do this, we're going to do it without making this place TEE. We're going to do it right, which is why we're taking time on this.
