DeepThought Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Well this is a new development. The guys at Sky Broadband have started blocking "adult" websites before 9pm. http://i.imgur.com/3udoMVx.jpg You can unblock it easily enough but it grates a little that Gun Trader can be somehow considered an adult website. My lad is on there all the time since I implied I might kit him out with a .410. I'm feeling a bit misunderstood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenduri Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Raise it with BASC as its blocking access to a website which can provide the means to participate in a legal and legit sport/hobby? Mildly descriminating to be honest against shooters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yeah the Sky Broadband Shield. I don`t remember asking for it but it suddenly appeared one day. Easy enough to turn it off. Although if you`ve got kids I suppose you might not want to. I haven`t really looked into it but you can probably make an exception for sites you don`t want blocking.

Banger123 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Turn the filters off and it works just fine. They emailed months ago n asked if I wanted to opt out so I did no pros with websites just bloody slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepThought Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yes I unblocked it straight away, just thought it was amusing that Gun Trader was considered an adult site. If they want to see what a proper adult site looks like they're welcome to check my browser history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bb Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I was in a pub recently, using their free wi-fi. It blocked Guntrader as "others may find it offensive". What?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
