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
