QP terminal censorship

As reported by someone (sorry cant look it up at the moment), the QP computers are blocking a number of threads on the QF forum due to "inappropriate content: alcohol"

Blocking Alcohol Content in a QP is like blocking religious sites in a church school.

Well from recent trials in AKL, MEL (dom) and ADL (dom & int) QPs I can report (while downing not a few HPs) that several threads are blocked.

More than the B*s

OK, from here on in; Let's resolve not to use any word a SIMPLE net-censor etc would object to,

Firsly; HP's will stay as HP's; Any other B**r will be referred to as HP's. JW red, black or gold as HP's. Any wine as HP's, in fact any thing obtainable from a QP will be henceforth be referred to as HP's.

QANTASs have not renewed their "Cyberpatrol" licence for the QP's. In MEL & SYD today all censorship is off.

A footy tipping page I could not access due to "Gambling" is now freely available ^.

All PC's when rebooting are showing: "Your Cyber Patrol Licence has expired".

lol. Was wondering if they would forget to renew the license (or even had any good software distribution methods to get a new license out to every computer in time!)

Saw last week it was due to expire and though they were running a little too close for comfort...

It'd be nice if they didn't block Hotmail.

I have had troubles accessing work email at QPs because it was deemed a religious site. Terraces in T1 at LHR also would throw this up about half the times I have visited, but never at LGW.
