Digital Spy got me into trouble when….

….a previous employers over-sensitive web monitoring services flagged several instances of words like porn, sex, cock, etc., to the IT team, which resulted in me having to explain to my boss, the Director of HR, what the site was about.

Still, at least he saw the funny side.

Your turn.

    shouldn't have said anything, because they have damn all right to ask about outside of work, only for their preciousness!

    It's OK, the government's new porn filters will ensure the site gets blocked by default at home too, so you'll be saved from all the depravity*


    *Unless you opt out. :)

    It was and was quite funny in the end because as I was showing my boss, who was gay, he became curious about 'GaySpy'….which, come to think of it, although the section wasn't for me, has it disappeared since the sites many refurbs?

    It's all rather great, really. Due to the pending VPN issues associated, I've forewarned the wife that we have to opt in to receive porn. Daily.

    What did you tell him by the way? How would anyone explain what Digital Spy Forum is?

    I just said it was an internet forum which I used for all sorts of things ranging from advice about a/v, to help with my sons disability, for entertainment/fun over lunch/breaks, etc. and that sometimes, topics would involve sex. I showed him some of the examples.

    I can't remember what was used, but it kinda scored each site visited, with certain words or phrases triggering a value and, once the value exceeded a certain level, it would flag it up to the IT Manager and it was at his discretion whether or not they wanted to pursue it. I can only assume that the thread I was reading at the time had a lot of grotty words in it!
