I think a rating system is silly.
Why?
1) It's a calculator and is therefore not enforced in any way. If you slap a MATURE rating on a game, guess what? Immature kids will still get the game (even more so than before). That's more traffic towards the adult material and away from the normal games.
2) Different standards between people, but that's just a reiteration of what's been said.
3) A rating system (especially on ticalc.org) will require users to register to download stuff. This (in ticalc's case) is a terrible idea.
