I attempted implimenting flash API in the preloader for my last huge project, Dick Neck: Origins. Obviously, though, it was rated M for Mature, and I found out through a PM that they can't slap ads in front of Mature rated flashes.

What I'm asking is this...

...in my next flash, could I get away with a "T for Teen" rating online if the word "Fuck" is said four times?

The chances are probably low, so I'm prepared to go for the "M" rating anyway...but if that could pass for Teen, I'm throwing an ad in the preloader.

The one I'm currently working on isn't one big in-joke...I know this sounds crazy, but I'm putting effort into this one, and it should be all-around entertaining.

...So. "Fuck" x 4 = T rating or = M rating?

A T rating would be appropriate for saying fuck four times

I thought you could use the Newgrounds Ads for mature rated things. Just not for Adults Only things.

It could've been the adult content in the M rated flash that prevented it.

Also, I can't tell if Magical-Zorse is being sarcastic...lol

Either do I lol. Fuck 4 times should be OK for a T-rating. I have seen far worse things in T ratings myself. Even if there is some blood or whatever and it is an M I am sure the Ads would still be OK. It is usually the sexual content they are worried about I guess =p Plus an inside joke can still make you lots of money with flash ads. Mainly if it gets on the Front Page. Dick neck got on the front page and would have made a lot if it was allowed flash ads! I mean my Turkey Soundboard was on the front page for a few days and made me a nice sum of money. Not a lot but still a good bit for something most people didn't understand. So yeah. I forgot if I was making a point or not...

In the "real world" there's no way that would be a T (or PG-13). No way at all. But on Newgrounds you'd probably get away with it. So it's up to you.
