I have just been tinkering with my AT&T U-Verse account online. One of the options was parental control through them. I have not explored it, but it is available. So besides parental controls through third party software, there are parental controls through ISP's. And, they are probably free. And, a parent can combine parents controls offered by the ISP with software from third parties.

now to see how this will also impact the adult members look at one of the mental disorders here...Dissociative disorders board....on that board we have many adult members with insider parts that are as young as 4 or 5 posting...with limiting a members under a certain age that means that most of those on the dissociative disorders board will no longer be able to post and view anything above G rated material...now go to each of the boards and you will find that sexuality and sexual problems are part of just about every mental and physical problem there is....

so now not only do the adults from the DD boards get affected but everyone who may have sexual problems because of depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, and every other board..

just something to think about because when you are asking that teens be limited you are also affecting your own abilities to have freedom of viewing and posting..right down to if you suddenly get prescribed a medication that may be causing you sexual problems....
thanks, I did not realize the true extent of ramifications of restricting viewing and posting.
Thanks for this!
