My initial impression syncs with your real world experience. We have our open house next Monday night but already have members working here. I turned on blocking for rules for about 10 minutes and problems immediately cropped up with guys working on the websites. So, blocking got turned off. I was just curious as to whether that was normal. Or if there were rulesets that stopped the really egregious abuses that I could enable.
