The real kicker is their explanation: "We find that some members misrate their entries by mistake. Since K and K+ entries should not have cursing to begin with, we believe this is a good compromise."
THAT is showing respect for the people who built a site.
"Oh, you wrote this by MISTAKE."
"Uh, no, I put a lot of work into it and rated it according to the rules you had then."
