Curious about how many people fall into this category as I get messaged about it from time to time particularly form people in universities, hospitals and government. If you fall into the yes category can you mention the general sector you work in and any info to go along with it if possible. Choose an answer on the poll in this link (Normally I hate poll threads but in some cases we can use the info).

I considered it, but decided that productivity would take a significant hit without periodic OF breaks.

I probably f̶u̶c̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶u̶pskewed the figures a bit.

I voted for the last option, and then got a Capture Not Validated error.

So I voted again for option 1 and it worked.

Sorry.

Trying to vote. Gov job so Blocked (all forums are blocked)
Oddly most things like Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook were blocked also but now the department has most social media covered they are allowed nowadays.


Edit: worked after 6-7 attempts

Sad to see my tax dollars going to IT managers that block watch forums. Very sad. Noted and thanks for the info.

Tried to cast a vote but was denied. My company doesn’t block/care.

Gov job, too - forum isn’t blocked but since the last update (I think) I don’t get any notification mails anymore.

Since I’m recently retired I voted as if I was still employed.

Yea we definitely don’t want those New Zealanders invading us while we’re asleep, waking up to milk bars, chilly bins and jandals. You’re doing god’s work mate 👍

Haven’t used the Gov’t desktop on the LAN since 3/14/20 (the day the world ended for Covid), but no OF blocking then. Several streaming services were blocked in years past (like YouTube) but as more work related content comes up online (instructional videos and how-to’s), they have been relaxing standards.
Considering OF is porn for many of us, it’s surprising it hasn’t been blocked.

That last option seems to fail on Safari. Chrome on the Mac, no problems.
