I think this is a great idea! There's already the option to ask a member of management to get rid of it for you (they just need to edit the user's profile), but then there is no rainbow for that day. If there was an option to pass, then someone else could have it for that day!

I still hold my original stance on the matter. I don't think this is necessary and I think homework should be available to all users.

This is just to motivate people to come online and keep their characters fed. If you're staff and need to send an important owl, you should already be online enough to where you don't faint, otherwise you probably shouldn't be staff because staff requires a lot of time on site.

If it's important, you can have the person owl you, or you can ask a third party to create an owl between you and the other person. Or you can wait the hour.

The teachers aren't allowed to grade, so they don't even get to see the assignments written. If they wrote it elsewhere, then the teacher could see what the student wrote.

Why not keep homework as it is, where they should be appropriate for all users, and if they wish to write it in a way that would deserve a higher rating, they could add it somewhere else. They could add that version to their backstory with a disclaimer if they really wanted to.

Yes it does. Even assignments that get all Trolls and Dreadfulls are sent to the Varying Grades. If the assignment receives at least at least one Troll, it automatically is sent in. 

Wouldn't that also make it unfair to those who are sensitive to higher rated topics? Now they can grade much fewer homeworks than someone who accepts all ratings.

If a piece of homework is rated XXXXX, that may not be suitable for some users, but students can't skip homework, so what would they do? It would be unfair to make them wait an hour, only to have the chance of getting the same piece again.

Definitely bumping this up, would love this!

But those users may no longer be online, so there is nothing they can do. It would work better if those who witnessed what was happening were to owl the staff members with what happened.
