Internet Filter

[Lubricant]

The other day, whilst I was at work, I thought I'd have a quick look on HxF but my works internet filter filtered HxF as P*rn. Can't remember the full name of the filter company. It starts with a "M" and ends with "sweeper". Does HxF have some keywords in it's header which could be mistakenly linked to p*rn?

Well there is some names like "Lesbian" etc... Don't know if that affects it?

The homepage, I.e Index.html works fine but once it goes to forumdisplay.php or something similar, it's blocked. I would use a proxy but they're really strict with their IT usage. Not allowed to google image search stuff that isn't related to the company or its profession =/

Why don't you just not go on the forum at work. You could only get away with it if you are high p in the IT section of work like me (YAY! Network manager!)

wouldn't it be a bit too geeky going on a kiddy site forum at work..?

[DiscoPat]

Nope..

Like someone said, it could be due to peoples forum names, like mine, and a few others. It could also be due to some of the stuff people post, as they do post some slang words for body parts that could be classed as p*rn.

I tried to login on my phone and it said "This site has been rated for 18+" and I sent the text saying "appeal" or whatever and they still thought it was only suitable for 18+.

Must be the content on the site I guess.

I get the same thing with Orange World.

Also, it's been unblocked now for some reason. The filter was MIMEsweeper.

Also, this forum is for teeneagers and adults aged 13-20. I'm 18, therefore, I have 2 years left.

Thanks to people who helped.

Cheers.
