BlueStar 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) Our acceptable use policy says you can have a limited amount of use of the internet for personal use, like you can use the office phone for personal calls provided it's not excessive. I rarely have time to fanny about for very long on toontastic at work, but I'll nip on and see if anything's happening in the transfer window if I've got a few minutes. Doesn't mean I want chebs on me screen though Edited January 23, 2007 by BlueStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6287 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 It's up to the mods what's pornographic. In terms of the workplace, I think employers would consider it pornographic. I wouldn't get sacked for browsing a footy forum, dunno where you work. ask HR if you can see your workplace acceptable internet use policy, I think you'll be surprised If you don't have one, then you can get sacked for doing anything they don't like, so unless you work at the Chron.... Actually most employers these days use a filtering tool (such as Websense) on their proxy to ban sites by category. HR will specify that certain categories are excluded (adult, gambling, gaming, violence, propaganda, etc) and then all the IT dept to manage the rest who will tend to manage it so that the bandwidth remains within the limits for legitimate business use. We've recently banned Streaming Media sites (YouTube, etc) and Personal Web Space sites (MySpace, etc) as we were maxing out our bandwidth. That alone reduced our usage by 25% An employer will not sack you for browsing a football forum at work, they'd sack you for not actually doing your job and instead browsing the web. So long as your productivity is there, there's no way they'll discipline someone simply for browsing. Besides the point, more of a reason for not allowing images such as a pair of tits is that children can get access to forums such as this and N-O. Yes there is a disclaimer when you register where you have to state you're at least 13 but there is no procedure to prevent minors not registering. More importantly, most forums have the ability to be read even when you're not registered. Rules are rules mate - you knew before you posted that it contravened those set on N-O so you can't really complain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly, most forums have the ability to be read even when you're not registered. Rules are rules mate - you knew before you posted that it contravened those set on N-O so you can't really complain... depends where you work... in my experience, if you work in a big enough place to have a HR dept., productivity will never come into it if you are seen to be breaking the rules. No workplace I know allows you to casually browse during work hours for non-work reasons as for the kids, bollocks to that, they can see worse in the Youtube threads for christsakes, or from The Sun pornographic material is exactly that - pornographic last I heard, N-O was not hosted in the Islamic Republic of Iran, although I guess that's what it would take to stop tards like HTT messing with it and again, all of this is moot, as we now know it was GM who reported it, the image having been there for 8 hours, so obviously not that infringing. As the mods can often be found explaining (when not hiding behind anonymous accounts), they would normally take a lenient stance and probably would have let it slide or at most removed it immediately without a ban, but they have to abide by a 'report' sensitive soul that GM is as we all know. Fuck me when I think of all the reporting I could have done in my time on there, maybe I'll just have to lower myself to their level when I return whichever way you cut it, it's bullshit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6287 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 if you work in a big enough place to have a HR dept., productivity will never come into it if you are seen to be breaking the rules. Actually it's quite the opposite. For HR to get involved, it needs to have been reported by the employee's manager who more often than not will resort to having a quiet word rather than directly involve HR. For the amount of paperwork and beaurocracy involved, it's would have to be serious shortcomings in the amount of work someone is doing to take it that far. Even if managment do want to take it that far, they need conclusive proof that productivity is being compromised purely because of web surfing. In the time I've been working with my lot (7 years), we've only disciplined one person for abuse of the internet who had been surfing constantly between 8am and 6pm and accessing adult sites which had not been categorised as such. The amount of work involved to prove it was vast and costly and even then, he kept his job and had a final warning. And that's a company who are the third biggest construction firm in Europe and who have close to 4,000 PC users in the UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invicta_Toon 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 the worst in my experience is a smallish company (50 or so), big enough to have an HR dept, but nasty and competitive with it (as opposed to massive and having to involve numerous anonymous people in an 'investigation' in that case, given direct evidence (i.e. shopped by a coleague, seen by a manager other than you line manager, or spotted using monitoring software) HR will override the line manager and productivity will never come into it. Like I say, the last thing they want is someone seemingly getting treated differently just because they are an efficient worker (HR don't understand what real work is really about, they are basically jobsworths) my point is, whatever the punishment or action, viewing a forum would be an equal offence to accidentaly seeing a pair of tits, be it a warning or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6287 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Not at all because it's all down to the company's IT policy. All HR are interested in is that a person carries out the job they were employed to do. What the person does in addition to that is at the discretion of their line manager. The only time HR will get involved is if the line manager reports that the individual is under-performing. HR do not sit there all day analysing web hits. Christ, even IT don't do that, they only scrutinise them if they are asked to do so in the event of a possible disciplinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
