    Default Orange Mobile

    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.

    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.

    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
    I'm not crazy, ask my toaster.

    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.
