Forcibly imposing morals on pornography

Scroll to see replies

Why

Don't do the child lock thing, It'll be a very embarrasing thing for him. First of all, Just go up to him and tell him the following:

Ugh, i'm having problems with my computer. Porn sites keep popping up and my history has loads of them.

See how he responds.

Surely confronting him face to face will be more embarrassing for him than putting a lock on the computer that will prevent him accessing the sites while the OP is gone? It's a much more subtle way of going about it but still gets the message across nice and clear :smile:

:smile:

Normally I'd be very against people imposing their morals about porn on other people. But this isn't about imposing morals. It's YOUR computer. It's completely up to you what he can use it for. If you don't want him to look at porn using it, he shouldn't. If he wants to look at porn he should get his own computer.

i would be pissed off. you have been allowing him the privilage of using your pc and he is putting it in danger of a nasty virus. if i were you i would at least delete the internet explorer shortcut and replace it with firefox (safer) and maybe fdisc the machine if i thought something was wrong (yes a phrase involving opening nuts with sledgehammers comes to mind XD). you are perfectly within your rights to childlock your pc in any way you see fit.
i would also change the background on his account to something along the lines of *i will not abuse myself in front of this pc. i will not abuse myself in front of this pc...*

Well u can stop him, but talk to him before taking such a drastic step like a child-lock....

I haven't read the whole thread, but I agree with high priestess. I would feel p*ssed off, not because of the porn in particular, but because he doesn't really *need* to use the comp if he's just looking at porn, does he? Especially as he doesn't even bother to clear the internet history, empty the cache etc., or he might just not know how - and if he's compute illiterate who knows what other stuff has wormed its way onto your comp.
I think a child-lock would be an appropriate preliminary measure - if he doesn't get the hint, then I'd mention to him that you keep having to wade through porn to find the websites you want :biggrin:

:biggrin:

Oh dear, It is quite disgusting what hes doing and you would be perfectly entitled to take your computer access away from him. As others have mentioned its a big virus risk and also crosses some kind of social barriers, I'm sure!

I would jokingly mention it to him or his girlfriend. I'm sure he would stop if he knew you knew just because of the embarrassment factor. Try not to make too big a deal out of it otherwise things would become quite awkward between you two.

i would also change the background on his account to something along the lines of *i will not abuse myself in front of this pc. i will not abuse myself in front of this pc...*

I would actually pay to watch his reaction if pinkpinkuk did that :biggrin:

True but my mum is an IT Tech and we have all the latest expensive anti-virus stuff and still we managed to get 33 trojans from downloading and looking at certain websites! :p:

Some people are silly with rep and will neg you for no reason at all, don't take it personally.
