Games rating on join page
It would be helpful to put an optional movie style rating system (G, PG, PG-13,R) descriptor for each game on the Join page. It would help folks determine if they wanted join a game or not, and should be fairly cosmetic.
Great suggestions, thanks! We will in the very least have some manner of “NSFW” tagging feature in the near future.

I agree with C David Dent. Check boxes or tags would be nice. The variety in people's comfort is expansive, and less options can seem like to definitive. But too many options and people will ignore them.

There's definitely a happy medium of granularity!
So the narrator would set up the game, and basically say: "I'm expecting/allowing these situations, so don't join if you're not into it."
I like the checkboxes, but you definitely need a NSFW images checkbox over and above a content rating.

I'd rather a series of check-boxes:
[ ] Adult Language
[ ] Violence
[ ] Stylized Violence (aka Cartoon Violence)
[ ] Sexual Situations
[ ] Drugs/Drug Use
[ ] Gore or Disturbing Imagery
[ ] Adult Situations and Drama -

You don't want to go too far down this rabbit-hole, but I think you need more granularity than SFW/NSFW.
In a different game, we decided that our rating level would be on par with an HBO original series; so perhaps a scale of Daytime/Primetime/Late night/After Hours would be enough of a range.
So optimally, the narrator sets the rating level and the expectations.
