School Filter

[Technologic]

Lol considering BBC is linked on our vole (news headlines) i don't think that'll get blocked but
anything with swear words is blocked, that's about it.

[wolfsburg]

lol at how you're upset that habboxforum is blocked.

[awelsh]

lol id excpet hotmail to be blocked really, our school is pretty tight on the filters now, theyve locked down on all proxy's too so if we use them we get "whitelisted" which means we can only access sites that are on a list the school provides and most are like pre-school crap. Don't know what our new system will be like though becuase were all back on the 10th hopefully theyve made it back to a normal windows logon because that has thousands of ways to get around their blocks

When I was at school, the filter was really crap for us. We had all video/game sites filtered, anything with swear words/rude words filtered and loads of stuff you weren't allowed to do, like change wallpaper or go to control panel or my computer etc. I remember we had to do some research about canals and the word 'canal' was filtered because it has a rude word in it. I also searched snooker once for artists who have painted/created anything snooker related for research on my art project and snooker was filtered, even on Google images.

lol the one in bridgend was the best. They filtered every single website, the only one you could go on atall was cbbc, pretty pointless them even having internet there and its still like it now, has been for about 4years

Last year, my school introduced something which I guess detected you were on a game, and if you minimized it (in other words, hiding it from the teacher), then it would close.

This was annoying, as some parts of the BBC website required you to use flash, so everytime I was looking at the BBC then switching over to Word, it would close, thinking I was on a game.

when i was at school they blocked certain words like games or proxy. Pretty funny how if you type in gamés then it would work, same for prõxy . Most of the actual sites were filtered but atleast you could search for unfiltered ones.

Basically everything other then what we're meant to go on... Proxies are blocked, forums are blocked, games are blocked, social networking sites are blocked, adult sites ofc. We can't even change the wallpaper of the computer. Oh, and we have like 3 options available in control panel haha. They've even got rid of the Accessories tab on the start menu and just place Calculator / Paint on the desktop.

Welcome to my world. Our Filter is the worst going. Google is blocked never mind BBC and HabboxForum. We have a certain amount of sites unblocked and that is only by some of the teachers asking the Head of the ICT to unblock it for that certain lesson, it is then immediately blocked after it.
