TIP

When you change the status of an age-based rating to Block, the system will automatically block that rating and all of its content themes and all higher ratings and their content themes. When you change the status of a Content Theme to B, the system will automatically block that content theme in the current rating and in all higher ratings. Only the content theme status corresponding to the current age- based rating changes to View (V). Higher rated content themes do not change.
