At my new workplace we are only able to use the internet between 12:30 and 1:30, and any emails with "expletives" in them are blocked and returned from whence they came. Thus, my mails to friends read like an 80s Eddie Murphy movie being shown on BBC1 - references to "freaking melonfarmers", "monkeyfaces", and "stuff" abound.

I logged on to ILX at lunch and opened a thread that caught my eye. The screen immediately shut down, and told me that I was viewing pornography. I can now no longer go on ILX at work, and I'm getting serious withdrawal symptoms. I would just also like to take this opportunity to say that the staff of * * P******Y are a bunch of cockfarming motherfuckers who stink of piss. They are not fit to butter my ass. Shit. Ass x2. Melonfarmer x infinity.

Graham, what are your thoughts on implementing a search-and-replace swearword filter for those that are subject to this kind of censorship?

I sound like a prick!

Those days are long behind me now.

Haha, I didn't realize this was a revived thread at first.

I thought this was going to be an aja thread!

Hahah me too!

We live in hope.

No, hang on we live in Ormskirk.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 23:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Thomas Tallis? Now there's a reference I hadn't expected to encounter again...

so anyway, Nordic's still here, so what happened? Did he change jobs, or did his employers rethink their policy? We have something which blocks certain kinds of websites here, including the categories Games and Alcohol & Tobacco. Our email swearblocker only works with emails from outside the company, so we may occasionally get a message from IT to say that an incoming message has been impounded, but we can cuss amongst ourselves to our hearts' content.
