Are there guidelines for what constitutes "adult content" in the
volunteer handbook? I have not scanned in a long time and am not
familiar with the latest handbook.
I would think it would be impossible to leave this decision up to
individual discretion since people have such varying opinions.

OK. Sorry then. I mean, then think about the words that you hear a
beap in the movies or shows when it is being said. I hope I am not
forced to write some here. I won't and I hope I am not forced. I
mean, I really don't want to and I know not to. So, yeah, think about
the words that won't be writen in the kids' books or like the words or
actions, sometimes that are not in the movies rated excluding minors
such as PG or R or I can't think of more yet. Sorry if I was wrong.
Thank you............
