Its nothing new being moaned at by the average user because they cant book there holiday or go on Facebook when they are supposed to be working.
Its not a God Complex its just tough on the average member of staff, but hey they can always complain and will no matter what we do!
I think these days a lot of companies do white lists not black lists. It just makes perfect sense.
They 'allow' what they want people to access and deny everything else.
As far as I am aware we are currently going through meetings to decide what times to allow work users access to this sort of content because people take dinners at different times of the day. As far as I know I think it will be implimented at around 12 till 1PM and then 5 till 6PM.
The rules for internet use here are defined and governed by the business, reports are produced each month on what sites are visited and biggest internet users etc which are presented to the business for review. All we do is make sure the boxes are up and running and deal with any support issues, the actual sites you can visit are administered by a communications dept who are also subject to the rules. It was set up this way as we (IT) did not want to be seen as the bad guys/internet police and eventually most internet usage is about loss of productivity to the business whilst people surf interspersed by the odd pr0n violation.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFF THAT IS TIGHT!!!!!!! no gaming! omg
