I know because I am Mr. Gestapo in my organization.  Let's leave it like that, Mr. Plainview. Really? I understand blocking porn but what is your motivation for seeing if somebody is reading a website that says sh*t? If the concern is them wasting time on Cracked, SomethingAwful, etc., wouldn't it be easier to do a whitelist? I can't claim any knowledge of corporate policy, but this surprises me because I have been reading a lot of popular websites for a long time, and I can only recall NSFW language warnings on video/audio clips, I assume in case people overhear you. So either the people one websites only think that they're not used in the US or they're actually not used, and I will never know the truth. Le sigh.

It is called "productivity" and the use of for example Facebook during working hours is called "theft of property and time" which is punishable with disciplinary hearings. This is a policy I have to follow and enforce.

.......... although it pains me. I personally believe many of these banned websites is more useful than harmful. But the powers that is has deemed otherwise. If I get in position to change this policy, I will.

There are filters in most office computer networks now who picks up swearwords and offensive material you are peddling. That means ProgArchives either get banned from the network(s) or the users of ProgArchives gets a stern warning from their employers.  Hence, keep it civil.

I have never before heard of employers searching visited pages for profanity. I guss it could happen, but I don't see why they would care that the website you are on is saying vagina penis hitler nazi unless all those words were actually being combined into the most disturbing neo-nazi site of all time. I'm all for not inlining explicit images without warning, but if your employer is paying that close attention to your computer then you should probably not be browsing PA on company time. Especially since for a long time somebody had the nipple-tastic cover of Roxy Music as his avatar and people regularly post what many people would consider outright pornography in any thread about album covers, not to mention the wink and a nudge references to drug use.

It's not funny, but I cannot see how it's not "civil".
