Oddly enough, that is another little bitch of mine with AOL - the kids are smart & most parents are dumb, so once I set the Parental Controls on their accounts, they figured out that could bug their friends for their un/pw's & log on under account that have no parental controls. I've asked AOL if there is a way to disable the "guest" option & they said now

So now they just burn their friend's accounts & I assume swear a lot

so they log on with unprotected accounts and AOL still suspends your accounts? I'm never sending another message thru aol again... that is just plain spooky... talk about having a very big brother watching over your shoulder... and how come AOL can do that, but we can't catch terrorists via the internet??

No - LOL - Once the kids realized that if they logged on under their friends usernames, they could go places they couldn't on their own screen names. This pet peeve I have with AOL has nothing to do with them getting our account suspended because of their cussing
