Nope, no rules at all, with long and serious debates having taken place in
the past over this very topic. Matter of fact, it's what prompted me to
create the LbRS (Letterbox Rating System) which was designed to give, at
quick glance, the relative 'easiness' of a letterbox. And it solely rests
with the owner of that box to rate it, not someone else. And by no means
is it meant to be the definitive answer to rating the easiness of a
letterbox at all, just another tool.

I personally try to be as forgiving as I can when I tell someone how easy
or hard my boxes are. I'd rather tell someone that they are difficult and
then have them tell me it was easy than the other way around.
