Subject: Web site blocked by employer
Written By: John Jenkins on 06/25/05 at 12:06 pm
I work for a large utility, and yesterday when I attempted to access AmIRight.com, I was blocked. There was a message that indicated that the categories which caused it to be blocked were "humor, profanity, gruesome content." I don't have a problem with that because, after all, it is the employer's computer and I do most of my AmIRight stuff from my home computer; but I found it interesting that the filtering software put AmIRight in those categories. I also found it interesting that the Message Board was not blocked.

I think the message board isn't blocked because it has automatic censoring while there is no such thing on amiright. But at least this board isn't as bad as monopoly online, where honking is changed to *****ng.

strange since I block most profanity. gruesome content, I guess there's some of that if you look hard enough
humor though, definitely none of that. Most of these filters companies employ are pretty brain dead.

You're right, Jeff. And this is all the more reason that he should write more.

You could try downloading Firefox and the extension that gets you past filters. ;)

I remember back in high school there were computer filters and once I tried looking up info on Shakespear and it was blocked due to "Entertainment"
