Creepy

Today I opened my Comment Moderation page and there was a truly creepy spam comment. Are we safe anywhere? What really creeps me out is that advertisers would not take the time and spend the money on all of this spamming if it didn’t really work. How sick are we that we would respond to something gross and sexual on the spot from a complete stranger. I really feel sad for our men. They are being bombarded every day. I am so thankful for my faithful husband. I am scared for our youth. There is something to the fact that if it is not available or if it is hard to get, it is less gotten….do you know what I mean? Now a days, you can just about get whatever you want whenever you want and nobody even has to know about it. It really scares me. We have all three of our computers out in the open where everyone (including me) can be monitored during use. We also have an awesome accountability system called Covenant Eyes. We each log in to Covenant Eyes when we get on the computer. It logs our usage individually. It sends an email every month of every site we have gone to to whomever we choose. Daniel & I monitor each others and then we each get one of the girl’s report. It is easy to read because it rates sites and if there is a concern, it is posted in red at the top of the page. It just takes seconds to glance at it and know your family has been safe. Thanks for letting me rant. Check out Covenant Eyes if you don’t have a safety system in place. We are all tempted and we are all capable on falling to temptation. I love accountability. It helps me keep things in check.
Kisses!
I love the idea of Covenant Eyes. It is a great accountability tool. You’re right we are all one decision away from falling prey to temptation. I NEED that accountability! Our men obviously need it to, especially in this technological age. The information super-highway is just a breeding ground for inappropriate material that can have lasting affects on our families, including unsuspecting children! Thanks for bringing this critical subject up, Lu.
Hey! I checked my blog admin a bit ago and I got the exact same spam..weird! Unless you forwarded that to me somehow, and you are trying to tell me something…..weirder.
I like the Covenant Eyes. It works,doesnt slow down the computer, and is easy to use and read the reports. I download tools,and sounds and stuff for my videos at brothersstudios.com and every once in a while I have to “confess” to Luanne that I ran across something creepy and it will show up. The cool thing is that it shows how long you were on a certain page and how many times you visit it, so accidents are easily identifiable. I have heard that XXXchurch has one that is free but I have never checked it out.
Eye of the Beholder,
I’m so happy to hear that Covenant Eyes has been a great help to you! I’d love to send you some free Covenant Eyes brochures or bulletin inserts for your church. Is that something your church would like? We really want to get this software tool in people’s hands if they need it.
dsto,
Yes, XXXchurch does have a free software, but there are many differences between X3watch and Covenant Eyes. I wrote a blog post about it a while back: http://www.covenanteyes.com/blog/2008/02/14/x3watch-and-covenant-eyes-what-are-key-the-differences/
