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.
