Quick question SirMoby.

Would all pages need a label directly within the page?

Would it be possible to submit your domain to a database or something that is setup to hold adult urls, that is checked as surfers browse sites?

For example, maybe a parent could go to the site that is setup to provide info and how to protect their children literature. If they chose to use the technology, they could download your software and install it, that then queries the database when browsing sites for possible adult domains. If it finds that it is an adult site, maybe it could permantly block it, where it would no longer query that domain if attempting to suf it, but just block it out.

I don't know too much about databases, not much at all in fact, so this could be not even possible to do. Or it may cause severe slowdown when browsing.

If this could work, once you submitted the root level domain, it could automaticaly assume any subdomains or directories on that domain are therefore adult as well.

This probably is the dumbest idea yet. But, If I hadn't of ran out of yesterday, I could of probably been a lot more creative.

Right now it's not difficult to use ICRA labels across your entire server or domain. When it's server based you register 1 url and then add it can be added to all domains on the same server.

There's no need to download any software if they're using IE because it's built in. I think if it requires additional software then it's too difficult for parents to use and someone has to maintain that software.

As pointed out by a few others meta tags would be best but I think we need to start educating people on ICRA labels and present a better alternative fast.

I don't see why ICRA is in any way preferable to using meta tags. If we are going to invest energy into something why not pick the better technology first?

I'm not familiar with how the current blocking softwares work - but many of us already put metas on every page to help blocking softwares. How do we find out wether the blocking softwares are reacting to these common metas?

ICRA labels are not a preferred method but 95% of the computers in homes today support the ICRA labels. Meta tags are far easier and a preferred method but I don't think IE supports them out of the box.

My suggestion is that we make the FSC and the Senate aware that ICRA labels exist but are not a good long term solution and promose the meta tags. Until then, we should support the use of ICRA labels as a temporary solution that needs to be updated.
