Terminology
|
|||
|
|
-----------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The main terminology used in malcontent is ‘parental controls’, which are
|
|||
|
|
implemented by ‘administrators’ and enforced on ‘child users’.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The feature applies to a range of other carer/caree relationships, though, where
|
|||
|
|
the ‘caree’ user might need to be protected from doing things on the computer
|
|||
|
|
which aren’t suitable for them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The terminology ‘parental controls’ is used consistently, despite not all
|
|||
|
|
situations actually involving a parent or child, because that’s how most users
|
|||
|
|
will find the functionality.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To remain as inclusive as possible, there are some rules about which terminology
|
|||
|
|
to use:
|
|||
|
|
- Use ‘parental controls’ to refer to the overall feature
|
|||
|
|
- Refer to ‘administrators’ or ‘administrator accounts’ rather than ‘parents’
|
|||
|
|
- Refer to ‘child users’ in general contexts, but refer to particular user
|
|||
|
|
accounts using their full name — don’t mention ‘child’ in that case
|
|||
