Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick). There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too. |

I guess we are not really U rated then. Like I said, the point of starting the thread was to avoid derail on the other one, not because I'm particularly bothered whether we allow it or not, my son is only two and when he is old enough to surf the web, I'll be blacklisting this site on his parental filter, I don't want him reading everything his Daddy types anyway. Simples... |

Re: The site's U rating
My wife wouldn't know what "locking your workstation" was, never mind how to do it, and since most home computers are set to log in a user automatically and go straight to the desktop, if people were to lock it, they wouldn't know the password to unlock it again as they haven't used it since the day they took the machine out of the box. To say that you have to lock your workstation at home, just isn't in the real world IMO.

Re: The site's U rating
The difference with those is that they are hosted elsewhere. It's still up to the mods on here to decide if they want to allow the link, but the difference is you tube, photobucket, etc will be blocked on most web filters, be they parental or work 'cos the web filter database knows it can't rate the content.

Setting a password so that they can't access the computer without you saying seems like hardly any inconvenience, especially given how concerned you appear to be that he's going to be harmed by something he might find online

Separate account is exactly what I will do when my boy is old enough, but that's easy for me to say as an IT guy, my sister and brother in law with a 4 and 6 year old wouldn't have a clue where to start setting up different user accounts on their PC, they have chosen only to allow internet access when directly supervised, and in the next couple of years when the older one starts using it for school, they'll need somebody like me to go and set it up for them. |

You are not being "real world" here guys, computers are a mystery to most people, and many, many parents simply don't allow internet access for the kids 'cos they don't know how to control it. Once they have to allow it for school, they get all worried about it. What certainly doesn't help is questionable content on a site that is supposed to be U rated, how can parents possibly win the game if they are playing to a set of moving goalposts.
