update to ratings guide - PLEASE READ Posted by Marta May 22, 2009 - 22:31:18 Topic ID# 9880

Hey guys,

Over the last day several of you have expressed concern with part of our
ratings guidelines, specifically the paragraph "Romance Outside of
Marriage:" . After discussing it with the other awards organizers, I
agree that that passage is misleading at best. It also seems that some
people are bothered by this rule, and while I never intended the rule to
be offensive, I can see why some of you don't agree with it.

So: we're removing the paragraph. It will be gone on the next site update.

Thanks to everyone who weighed in on this. I apologize for any confusion
or offense the paragraph might have caused.

Marta
(MEFA Admin.)

D'oh! Would you believe I didn't get this e-mail 'til after I finished my post?

Oh well - consider it food for thought if the issue gets revisited at a later date.

Marta - thank you for your prompt, sensitive and decisive response to my emails. I understand how awkward it is to change rules mid-competition. Thank you.

Thank you also to everyone that responded to my emails with sensitivity and a desire to resolve this matter. It was both a shock and very distressing to think that I had placed in a competition in which I was on some fundamental level not accepted. I am extremely grateful and relieved to have it amply demonstrated that this is not the case.
