VISA's banned the word TEEN

08-05-2003, 08:26 AM

I don't fucking believe it
I received an email from AC that one of my Gold sites has the word "Teen" in the title and Visa has banned the use of this word. Here's the email.

"Hello Kevin,

This site (551685) was removed from the Gold links due to containing words recently flagged by Visa as "banned."

Please consider changing the word in your title from "Teen" to something else."

The next thing Visa is going to do is start telling the 3rd party processors to stop processing for sites that use the word "Teen"

Richard's Realm has had the world "teen" banned for years now. They insist you call them "young ladies" in your gallery descriptions.

Work around it and get on with it I always say.

visa should love such movements. If a sponsor doesn't allow you to use the word teen, imagine how normal will sound for them when they take this decision for the rest of us

Use someone who doesn't have sucky policies. I don't see all the billers and AVSs banning "teen". How much of this is Visa, and how much is AC going too far in an attempt to get ahead of the curve?

If AC is doing this, they're doing it for a reason. It's not like banning the word "teen" is going to make them more money.

That's hardly reason to ban the WHOLE word.

Want to ban the word SEX too? adultSEX.com underageSEX.com

Since "teen" is a very general term (ie: It can refer to people <18 and people >18), it's not the title that makes it underage. It's the content of the site.

I wish Visa could kiss our asses.

Unfortunately we've been the ones doing the kiss and we're going to continue kissing theirs for a long time now...

Why the anger?

Let me tell you a bed time story, back when and even when I entered publishing porn in the 80's, the only guidelines we had to go on was the video industry.

They NEVER used the word teen for obvious reasons.

Then the CD-ROM XXX age came in 1991, and we DID NOT use the word teen [it was so NOT accepted].....

Then comes the internet, and the wild west times and some folks believe its our right to do as we please.

The Clinton years made the internet believe we were exempt, us old timers from pre-web knew this day would come.

Its here, and so what.

Out of the whole history of adult entertainment going back 50 -75years in publications. Clinton gacve us a reprieve for a few years and all kinds of words were brought forward.

It was a blip that is going to be closed, and business as usual the way adult entertainment has been done for 97% of its life.

We are none the worse for not marketing the word " teen" over 75 years and STILL making some serious money in porn.

There has always been guidelines and about damn time internet was bound by them too.

Just make all your business decisions, forecasts, budgets, plans etc on a month to month basis from now on and you'll be fine.

Long term anything has gone out the window.

Everyone just has to get used to this unpredictable whats next business environment. I don't see it changing anytime soon.

Me either, but if you want that site's traffic then you simply work around it.

RR prefers the term "young lady".... arguing with them won't get you listed. You either boycott them or you work within their rules, the choices are pretty straightforward.

Yes, you would be.... unless you have different versions of the same page. I simply take a few moments to tailor certain pages to comply with the rules of certain sites that I think are worth the effort.

Work around it people. If this "AC" 's rules ain't to your liking, go with someone else. If enough webmasters start leaving them or avoiding them, they'll soon get the message.

What about the words "eighteen" and "nineteen?"

Does this mean those are banned as well since they have "teen" in them?

Will have to replace the words with the numbers I suppose.

LOL. I thought 'teen' had been banned for ages. Maybe it was the Lancelot Security hamster bile that I remember. Same arguments bout 18-19teen then.

According to Bryce from AC, this is Visa's decision, not AC trying to stay ahead of the curve:

Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2003 6:17 pm Post subject:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The words "teen" and "lola" are banned words from VISA. Adult Check has no control over VISA's policies, but is nonetheless bound by them.

I understand that you would like more notice, but no notice was provided by VISA, so we can all chalk it up to something else we can be angry at them for. The important thing is to take any and all steps neccessary to protect the system, the banking relationships, and the merchant accounts.
