So, I'm at the doc's Friday and they have free wi-fi...You have to agree to their user guidelines.
So I'm surfing all my usual forums...Bladeforums, Reddit, Randi... No problems...
But not Slinging.

They wouldn't let me look at the Slinging site... Which has one of the more restrictive auto-censors...
Go figure.

Macy's stores(one of my customers)wifi won't let me access slinging.org. The blocked page message gives "weapons" as it's reason.

i love our auto censor. You can make up your own terms for swearwords Smiley

Seems weird we'd be blocked though.

Slingling.org was blocked at my high school for 'weapons'.  I ended up finding a way around the filter, but I don't remember how...

That's odd that slinging.org is blocked anywhere. I discovered this site at work where almost every website was un-accessible. I read this site so much in 07-09 because it was one of the few non work related sites I could get to.

I guess the site is blocked because the elite is afraid of our "tools" and it shouldnt be shown.

I cannot access Slinging at work because of 'weapons' block but I have found a back door if I open slinging from an email notification. I can't navigate around too much before our firewall catches on but it's still a way I can check messages and new post notifications.
