OCUK Forums not suitable for children

Greebo · 20 Jul 2009 at 12:53

I am shocked to discover that Ocuk forums are not suitable for children and are not family friendly. :eek:

Well, that's according to Orange as I got my new phone on Friday and when trying to go to this forum, Orange informed me that Orange Safeguard has classified these forums as suitable for over 18's only :confused:

Anyway I have requested that Orange review it. Doubt it will make a difference though.

Just wondered what on earth made Orange classify it as over 18 in the first place?

Yep..... see... it's pedobear

Lol the flexible definition of family friendly.

What do other pieces of software say about OcUK I don't use parental software myself?

Orange tried to block me from loads of sites. Just rang them up and told them to kindly eff off.

V4NT0M · 20 Jul 2009 at 12:56

I don't think there's any set parameters, they just block random crap.

Its not suitable for many, many reasons. These are of course certain users on here, which I shall not name.

apeZ · 20 Jul 2009 at 12:57

My friend is with Orange, and they seem to randomly block everything. I couldn't get on Digg.com, nor OCUK. Told him to sort it out ..

Just go to your account, your details and change the adult settings.

DampCat · 20 Jul 2009 at 13:01

I asked them to review it ages ago. they denied me

I had to ask for an adult account agreement or whatever its called. I bet she thought i was a right perv looking for material to fuel my furious porn based activities at the back of the bus.

The forums shouldn't be suitable for children or family friendly. There should be a minimum 18 age IMO.

On 3G they block all "adult" sites so they can have you pay for their partner content instead.

It comes switched on by default.

You have to get orange to remove it.
