Hi all<br>
<br>
The moodle site I set up on our web server was inaccessible for some
time today - the message ACCESS: DENIED came up.<br>
Wondering why this was so I spent some time using my mobile broadband
internet connection to log into it and investigate student logs and
profile pics, looking for obscenities etc<br>
In frustration I returned to the home page only to scroll down and see
the RSS feeds (Herald Sun Top Stories and Tech News) featuring articles
on<br>
- NBL player involved in a s&x assault<br>
- Home and Away to feature a le$bi@n romance (It was referred to as
"Home and a Gay")<br>
- Gmail servers down due to p0rn attack<br>
(misspellings here so this email will hopefully get through Kevork's
filter system!!)<br>
<br>
No wonder the filter had banned the site!!<br>
<br>
So I fixed it by completely deleting all of the RSS feeds, but I
contemplated the fact that students in my class could get up and walk
to the other side of the Library, pick up a copy of the Herald Sun, and
read, in full, all three articles. Oh how their minds would become
corrupt by this act!!!<br>
<br>
Yet the whole moodle site was blocked - even though it only displayed
the headings!!<br>
<br>
Double Standards?? Or perhaps we should also ban students from reading
newspapers at school?????<br>
<br>
Sometimes ya just gotta have a giggle!<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
