So today, i tried to get on habboxforum through my mobile, But Orange said it was a website that is only available for 18+ due to the content, I am 18 but cba to ring them up and get the protection thing removed, I submitted the site to be reviewed but they sent a text saying it is only for 18+
Why is this?
Good question in fairness. I would recommend just ringing them up and getting it removed, I had it done and it doesn't take two minutes. I'll try and find out why it's blocked as 18+, though.
EDIT: Just to update you, I just emailed Orange questioning the reasoning behind this. I will post here when they reply.
I don't see why Networks feel the urge to block websites and filter them as 18+ - Seeing that fact we can just log onto our computer and visit any website in the world without a 18+ block/filter.
Yes it is peculiar. We will await Orange's response.Quote:

cause of all the sexual talk.... owait not allowed tht lol
Yeah I know. I suppose it just makes them seem more ethical and improves their image. Bit odd if they actually reviewed it though and still say it's unsuitable.Quote:

Probably because there is actually content on the forum that's inappropriate for young users? I would laugh if they came back and said it was actually because of the sexist jokes :P
Just so you know I am still waiting for a response from Orange. I got an automated reply telling me that they were unusually busy, so it may take longer than normal. I will give them another couple of days and then email again.
Very odd that is :S Virgin mobile doesnt block habboxforum but it blocks pretty much anything to do with MSN, ebuddy etc...
Just go on your orange account online and turn filter off. (:
