Why the change in rating? I don't want to sound like I'm moaning, cos' I'm not. But I resubmitted my story- 'even teddy bears get the blues' and had to request my cherry back. When it was put back on the site it went from a 12 to a PG. No content was changed only typos fixed. Just wondered why this happened. Are ABC censors getting with the times and becoming more liberal?

No, probably because it was a borderline piece and since then I have graded fifteen pieces a day for X days. I don't actually recall precisely what grade is given to each piece. I read it this morning and felt it was PG/12, last time I probably read it and felt it was 12/PG. Human failing. Also, we have more than one editor. And, I possibly am a little less cautious - Judith's arguments have carried some weight.
