main C&F site blocked!

Gotta love public library internet filters…


This site is blocked by the SonicWALL Content Filter Service.

URL: http://www.chiffandfipple.com/

Reason for restriction: Forbidden Category “Personals and Dating”

I blame Jill, the Chiff & Fipple customer service intern.

I think it’s her webcam that set off the alarm. :astonished:

I didn’t realize that Jill was looking for a date. You’d think that amar would have snapped that one up

Izz, hon, what is that you’re holding in your new avatar? Fish? Ear trumpet? What?

It’s a SHOE!!! You know, Imelda and her shoes? :laughing:

An ear trumpet!! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Well, I guess a fish would be even stranger.

A shoe? Well, let’s get out the magnifying glass . . . you’re right! It IS a shoe! Will wonders never cease! And good old Imelda!

I enjoyed the Imelda Era.

Well, now I’ve gone and changed it, just to confuse everyone. :smiley: So me and my ear trumpet/shoe are no more…

Well, really, I thought ear trumpet was a likely choice. Couldn’t really figure out why a nicely dressed woman would be holding a fish, but . . . stranger things have happened.

I was kind of pleased to narrow it down that far . . .

I think the offensive words in the home page are:

Wait don’t you mean democommi. :wink:

I am also a democrat myself but I couldn’t resist. Republinazis like feminazis only republicans. Am I making any sense whatsoever or am I just writing words I am thinking of? The world will never know.

I hate those stupid controls it tells me some ebay pages are real estate and blocks it like I have to search things to get in.

The filter at one of the federal gateways, for an agency we will not mention, likes to block sites with Big Medical Words, like medical references and professional associations. You actually have to write up a huge justification to get it unblocked–including why YOU in particular, nevermind that you work in a hospital, NEED access to that site.

Your tax dollars at work. :roll:

You never know why some sites get blocked. It’s a very subjective process, and what’s offensive to one person isn’t to another. Sometimes a little well-placed grovelling with the blocking service can get your site unblocked again.

It’s good to be blocked – keeps the perverts out.
