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 arent suitable for them.
The terminology parental controls is used consistently, despite not all
situations actually involving a parent or child, because thats 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 — dont mention child in that case
