i can't force anybody to do that, so why is just asking forbidden? What would the world be without standards? The goal of the current thread is to have lists reusable by many people, isn't it? > > > When something comes to my attention that should be unblocked, I add > itto my Approved > > honestly, would every squidGuard admin want to do that? > Well, I use some quick 'n dirty Perl scripts to add or remove sites from > categories and kick Squidguard, so you can do that's not the problem (btw: would you like to make the scripts available to the public?). The point is i don't want to create a whitlelist for e.g. geocites.com just because there *could* be porn on it. And there are many free webspace providers out there... but most porn/violence sites have multiple own domains. > We block webmail during work hours, there's no business need for it. We have maybe, but a school may be the the only source of web access for some of the not-so-rich kids. For the virus thing: a recent virus scanner or another os than Windows are much better solutions So why don't create "webspace/crap" and "webmail" categories? This way the user also better knows why some URL is blocked.
