vL has pornography on it?

[Tazo]

I wasn't sure where to post this, but when I attempt to access this forum from school it is blocked by the transparent proxy for Pornography. I can access valhallalegends.com fine, but not the forum.. is there something in the keywords that it is catching? 

[Yoni]

What proxy? Or is it a private school blacklist?

I find it highly amusing. I guess your school just can't stand how sexy Grok is, or something.

Its Jigsaws Wang picture.

Probably has something to do with the, "How many vaginas have you seen?" thread in the Fun Forum.

Those filters are downloaded automatically from companies that track sites that have pornography warez, hacker tools, and what happens is programming sites get included in it as well.  There are countless legitimate programming tools sites that are on those lists.  From where I work, I have to use the internet without the proxy or I cannot get to tools I sometimes need for the job.

The sites probably get on the list by keyword searches and sufficient hits.  Since forum.vahallalegends.com likely has a thousand hits on programming subjects, I am not surprised it makes those lists.

The cheaper lists only work via keywords and humans do not doublecheck the list.  You'll find cheaper lists used by schools and most smaller companies.  Larger companies can afford the expensive lists, which have sites reviewed by persons so that legitimate sites do not make the restricted list.

What's odd is at my school (I beleive Novell is in use still) forum.valhallalegends.com is permitted but lacrosseforums.com is not. The lacrosse forum is much more tightly moderated and even a thread about torrents was closed, so it's interesting to me.

Last I heard about the Las Cruces Public Schools they blocked all sites & prior to visiting the computer lab you had to submit a list of sites you would like to visit then the approved ones would be unblocked.

I don't think that would work out very well if they ever actually did implement it, how do you do a reasearch paper already knowingly what sites you want to look at?

That's the only "good" solution to content filtering: whitelisting.  They could block all sites, then unblock all sites that are "safe".  They could provide their own search engine which only searches within "safe" sites.  That would be a lot of work, but it's the only way to stop people from getting around filters.

@ a local mid school the kids (for w/e stupid ass reason) were provided with laptops for personal/school use.  The kids were all up in these porns sites & school admins found out, I dont know what happened to them, though

my school used some shitty software. It blocked tons of useful sites like maddox.xmission.com but we are able to quickly get around it by just packeting the crap out of any blocked server, it would overwhelm the proxy and we could then access the site like there was no block in place until the proxy was reset. But then they upgraded their stuff and the only way to get at the content I wanted was by SSH.

Did you try Google's cache?  That's how I check maddox's site from work where it's blocked under the content category "tasteless."
