Ccbill is the word “Boy” banned

[maxpower]

I have heard allot of talk about banning the word “boy” and people going to prison and very thing else for using it. I was just wondering if this is true, or BS like it sounds, and also if the word boy is banned will the word girl be banned as well as teen, twink, and a countless other words that one could use to describe anyone under 26 or so. I only named Ccbill because you are the largest US processor, and I would like to see the direction you see this going in, I am not talking about promoting CP sites or illegal content only a word. UGAS even let you use the word “boy” in the tittle of sites I send them, and I could not think of a more by the “book” company. :center:

They are covering their asses and I can't blame them. I agree girl should be on the list too if it isn't just like ita it does denote underage. Even if they aren't it just has too much potential problems for them. For example, they won't process for any diaper fetish sites. Now, adult babies have nothing at all to do with actual kids but I assume they just don't want the trouble.

From what I know they will let you use boy in the tittle, just not underage people, or a real suggestion of CP. I could name a 1000 gay sites that use Ccbill that have the word boy in the tittle

my merchant account won't let me use "boy" in a lot of our stuff... nor will my distributor let me use the word "boy" in a title or on a box cover.

That is really messed up, I just wonder if the same applies to the word “girl” some how I really do not think so :hmmph:

Dear Maxpower,

CCBill does have many words that we search for that could cause a violation to our Acceptable Use Policy however many times particular words or phrases may not be considered a violation based on how they are being used. For this reason we have a completely staffed department reviewing each violation that is brought to our attention for validity.

I will be happy to speak with you in depth about a specific situation. Please feel free to contact me directly should you have any questions or concerns that you feel I could assist you with. I can be reached via phone 480.449.7751 x 174 or email lloyd at ccbill dot com or should you prefer I do offer my ICQ number below in my signature.

Thank you,

[maxpower]

So are you saying the word is not banned only phrases like little boys, young boys, high school boys, ECT but the word boy is ok as long as its used properly like Twinkboysfeet.com I would like my sites acceptable by you guys, but I make twink sites and its really hard not to use that word, I do not want to allude to having underage people, only legal guys 18-26 or so.

This is not the first time this has happened. Typically, when our industry is under attack (such as now), we all start to hunker down some.

For example, in 1983, a film called BRIAN'S BOYS was produced by Nova.

Later, they changed the name of the film to BRIAN'S MEN.

Just thank Florida for George Dubya and his Porn Squad for the latest scare.

Everybody, note that Maxpower isn't saying that the word *is* banned by CCBill, he is *asking* if it is banned.

I've found CCBill's compliance group to be very reasonable in looking at the context for use of a word. "hot very young boys" would not be OK, while "Boys from the hood" would be fine.

well the only fraises I am worried about are like “twink boys” very stranded, like in the url twinkboysfeet.com if even this simple term is banned it opens all kind of questions for me. Getting clarification on this is like pulling teeth with these people, that is not a good sign if you ask me. But that said I think there is no chance in hell that there will be a law that says you can not use this word in about anyway in an adult site.

[gaybucks_chip]

It isn't law, it's Visa (or Mastercard) regulations that matter here. Visa and Mastercard are free at any time to restrict the use of any words, and that could happen...

As for getting answers from CCBill, dunno who you're speaking to there, but I've found them to be exceptionally helpful and it should not be difficult to email someone in compliance and just ask. If you say "what can't I use" they may not be able to give you a comprehensive list, but if you describe what you're trying to do, I'm sure they will be helpful.

As to the word "twink"... well, ccbill processes for twinks.com, so I'm guessing that won't be an issue.

well ya they do boysfeet.com too, but this chick :chicken: said every thing changed at the start of this year and no new sites can have that word. I know that might not sound like a big deal if you all ready have a domain with that word listed, but really if it is true how long do you think it will take for them to turn around and start removing your sites with that word in their domains regardless of how long you have been with them. That might sound paranoid, but that is how things seem to work sometimes, and then what's next.

[maxpower]

Oh well, I guess I will cross that bridge when I get their, I personally am not going to breaks any laws, but Visa regulations are different I know how to get around that :juggle:

No no no no no, cross the bridge BEFORE you get there - before you have your designers work on the design for a specific domain, before you buy domains preferably...

Sean, asking first could maybe save you some bucks redoing/redesigning the design/layout and you can invest in other things.

Well that was really what I was talking about, before I get a designer, to start working on the dadsboys.com site or really even the twinkboysfeet.com site I will make sure the urls are ok, but to tell the truth I have many sites to do first, and would need to get the content to fill the site before I am going to get to worried about the name. I can see some problems with the dadsboys.com thing, but to tell the truth if a processor will not let me call a site twinkboysfeet.com I will have to think long and hard about keeping them.
