It could be your username. Quicksilver is also a gaming site for MoO 2 players.

 

But I can trump you.

 

Tertiary institution, who run a filter that told me I had been reported for

trying to Download "The Forged Coupon" by Leo Tolstoy.

 

"This document contains 832 barred keywords, this constitutes a gross attempted breach of the internet user guidelines, this attempt along with the URL of the page you were trying to access has been reported to the I.T. depertment for disciplinary assesment."

 

So I tried downloading it 50 odd times. (And we really need an evil grin smiley). Hopefully generating yet another report each time.

 

Anna Karenina BTW contains several thousand barred keywords.

And Charles Dickens is positively evil according to the censorware.

(This isn't a primary school BTW but a tertiary institution.)

 

Other documents I cannot download, included the

UN anti-torture convention. Yet another report to the admin.

Some SFN topics.

 

Personally I use it for word now, but that's it.

 

Cheers.

they tried to block all the websites like addicting games at all the schools in my province. It worked for a bit then people just found new sites
