Omnimaga blocked in school
« on: June 15, 2014, 04:28:12 pm »
For some reason, Omnimaga is blocked in my school, but Cemetech is not.
Is there any reason that this happened? I think It's the swearing, but I'm not sure.

The school decided omni was off-limits, could be anything.

We don't swear over here (not much, anyways). Probably listed under gaming-related web sites. Not much you can do about it.
I'm not a nerd but I pretend:

I mean the funny OmniIRC quotes thread. I could email the teachers :)

Yeah swearing is kinda rare here even if we do not censor it, although it could just be 1 post or two. It's most likely due to the many games.

I don't know then. Our school blocks a ton of stuff. I was browsing on cemetech once and page 3 of a topic was blocked, while all the others weren't :P

If they block based on page content, I wonder if proxies won't be blocked too? The filter could detect what's on the page and the proxy frame, right?
