I just found out my company network blocks leftybassist.com because the Websense filter deems it contains 'adult material'. Really?

Probably wouldn't happen if it was 'RightyBassist.com'... :geek:

thats funny, I just blocked Google from our network just as a joke to see how many people ask if the site is down from our inter-office messaging system...lol

We don't consciously filter swearing and subject matter, but it's always seemed to me that we have a fairly family friendly style of conversation here. But I'm sure there are certain specific criteria that need to be met to not have the site deemed to have "adult material".

I won't clog up the thread with side posts, but when I said I was gonna block google, and all google related sites at 11am our time today it only took 7 minutes for someone to ask "why can't i get to google on the computer but it works from my phone" ...lol

so i unblocked it and said "it works for me" and the one person said "yep, musta been a glitch, thank you for looking into that for me"---hahahaha

It does that at work for me too. Well, it used to. I quit that job last week (b/c they blocked leftybassist.com!)

Andrew, you're right. The atmosphere here is always very friendly, everyone is nice and helpful and so far I haven't read any abusive language here I think :-)
