So is rating your fic required?
I'm going to be lazy and repost what I said earlier while editing so it's directed to you...
it's more for content which might be inappropriate for some age ranges (not that the internet is the safest place for some age ranges, but we can discuss that in another place and time...)
My personal rule of thumb is the "little cousin" rule. Have a little sibling/cousin/friend's little kid? now picture him/her reading your story. If you don't think they should read it, then add a rating.
I'm not going to ban anyone who doesn't add rating (I would ban almost everyone in the FF section if I did that :P ) it's more of a suggestion for writers unless they have something which isn't great for all age groups...
that being said I would strongly suggest you do add a rating to any stories you write because we might become more strict in rating in the future but then it's really easy to add this sort of stuff so I figure it really won't be a problem.
