I am sure that that is why the blocking occurred.

I've never had that happen with e-Rewards, but I have with a different survey site. When it's happened it's been blocked by my ISP, not by any "parental controls" on my browser (which I don't have on, anyway). I don't think my ISP would block something based on the URL, but I'm certainly going to look next time! Also, they don't block anything on the basis that it's porn, but that there are phishing attempts and whatnot involved...
