 == MSN Gaming Zone == 

= SUMMARY =

MSN Gaming Zone site has been registered with RSAC (Recreational Software Advisory Council) on the Internet to keep the Zone a family- oriented place for everyone to play online games. This site is open to all users, and we ask that everyone be polite. However, if an individual becomes annoying and you want to lock him or her out of your game, turn off kibitzing and game joining.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The Gaming Zone web pages, which have chat functionality imbedded in them, maintain a RSAC “Language 2” (Expletives; non-sexual anatomical references) rating. This rating is mainly to warn users that occasionally, inappropriate language of this nature does occur, and to provide users with a tool to help them regulate this content.

If you do not want your children to see these pages without supervision, please initiate the parental content control rating system in Internet Explorer 3.0, as follows:


 * 1) On the Internet Explorer 3.0 View menu, click Options.
 * 2) Click the Advanced tab.
 * 3) Click Ratings.

This ratings option only affects our web-based services and is not applicable to Gaming Zone games accessed via our client software.

RSAC is an independent, non-profit organization that created an objective content-labeling rating system for recreational software and other media such as the Internet. The system provides accurate and non-judgmental information about the specific content and allows consumers to make decisions based on personal evaluations of that information.

Additional query words: 1.6.x IGZ language rating RSAC supervise rude obnoxious
