What do I do if I find a high score on my partner's Accountability Report?
You are here: Frequently Asked Questions / Getting Started / I am an Accountability Partner -- what do I do if:
High-scoring sites appear occasionally on just about everybody's Accountability Report. Be careful you do not assume the worst. Here are some simple steps and reminders to follow:
- Look at the website address on the Accountability Report.
- If you see anything questionable about the address, look at the number of hits on that website.
- If you see more than one hit on that website, you may want to ask your partner about the activity.
Here are some suggested questions to ask your partner if you see high-scoring websites on their report. When speaking to your partner, go in believing the best about their motivations or intentions.
- Ask your partner what the site had on it?
- Did you view pornography on this site?
- If so, how long were you on this site?
- Did you tell me the truth about what is on your Accountability Report?
If after speaking with your accountability partner, you still have concerns, use the Accountability Report and Detailed Browsing Log to analyze the browsing activity further.
- Look at the accountability report again.
- Make note of the high-scoring website—date and time included.
- View the Detailed Browsing Log.
- Once at the Detailed Browsing Log, locate the website in question, using the date and time-stamp from the accountability report. This will allow you to determine more accurately the motivation of your partner.
If there is a pattern of highly objectionable sites, we always recommend that the user be confronted in love and (unless it is obvious that pornography has been viewed for a long time) given the benefit of the doubt. In many cases there really is a simple explanation for the questionable scores. Nevertheless someone involved in pornography will have numerous visits to multiple high-scoring websites. Almost always, these sites have blatantly pornographic or suspicious names.
