jamie just got a new phone and tried to log on here, orange have clasified this site as ssuitable for over 18's only.anyone any ideas why

I believe the answer is very simple, I rang someone and asked them :) :)

 

Any "forum" that use's a a lot of "protected" and / or "hidden" areas are seen electronically as an adult site, as these are the same proceedures used by the aforementioned adult sites :) :) I believe if you block bots, spiders, crawlers and uncle tom cobbly, then search engines after a while think, Oh this must be an adult site, or a government security services site - ah, the joys of the web.

 

Have admin tried to run this site on a machine with ICRA on it, or net nanny etc???

I run a forum promoting Zakynthos - and no one can get in there due to the 18 pass.

The "electronics" just see this as an entity that has hidden or blocked areas, so it says to itself, Ah! Adult, because you don't want minors veiwing that type of "artistic" photographic work.

No the DJUL only comes into force on the 1st July :bouncy:

 

Now that brings up a conspiracy theory, are big brother trying to use July 1st as a bad day for DJs?

Last year it was the smoking ban, this year the Pro Dub license, next year...........

Next year...indeed?

 

It is unsurprisingly not difficult to think in terms of the present and near future, but try to see a little further, and it becomes more of a darkening cloud, and then some!

 

In business terms, from the perspective of those who introduce something, there is nothing better than a disorganised sector to target, dare I say exploit! Business is business at the end of the day with little room for sentiment!

Here's a thought! In our biz, should the sector decide to get behind a representation, to channel coordinated response, addressing the issues and scrutinizing say the small print of introduced products, its details etc, then next year and year after that may not seem so bad or cloudy!

 

Environment issues are topics which will probably see further stealth tax introduced in years to come.

Trends indicate that home entertainment is an increasingly popular area....so some bright spark will probably try to exploit a tax there! Maybe a utility use tax?!

 

Of course, we can't rule out a tax on air consumption or a thinking tax! smile icon
