Why is "All Things Japan" being filtered out at work

[erbiumfiber]

I work for a Japanese law firm and our filtering software is denying me access to the "All things Japan" section of the forum. Is there some porn thread or some Japanese chat room thread that it's seeing? I've never had this problem before. And since none of this is work-related, I'm not going to the IT people about it...

Only thing I can think is a rather large thread about 'Sex in japan'.

Question, can you access the RWPW at work?

Yes, I can read everything else- it worked fine before- the "Sex in Japan" thread has been up quite a while. If it sees links to Japanese dating sites, the filter will deny access- that happened when someone posted a link to one of those sites in a thread. But usually it's just the thread. Maybe if you spend too many hours on a particular part of a site (in relation to the time you are, umm, supposed to be working) it shuts down. But somehow I doubt it's that sophisticated. And I don't spend hours and hours posting and reading- I actually do spend most of my time at work...working. Oh well, eventually whatever is causing the problem will die out...

Ahh
theres a thread in there with a link to a Japanese dating site.

Silentplummet posted it, PM him, maybe he will edit it.
