"Lastly: this is a silly problem, i understand mods not being able to mute people - but as muting is client-side the 'porn links' or whatever, are downloaded even if i mute someone. (and then hidden by js) You problem is more likely when a work-specific filter decides that webdip is 'inappropriate' and block it - in which case, either use a freaking proxy, or don't use webdip at work, because it's not you time or your internet connection..."
I am allowed to view the site at work and use whatever other sites I please as long as my work gets done. I suspect many others have the same situation. What I am not allowed to do is view porn at work, and using a proxy or other such methods to get around that block is an offense met with termination.
As for other users, most people are not familiar with tor, proxies, or other such methods to get around work/school blocks. Requiring members to do that just so a few people can post porn links isn't something anyone, including Kestas, is willing to do.
As for posting your disagreement, you're more then welcome too, and the other mods and I all appreciate you doing so as respectfully as you are, it's a welcome change.
@draug, suggesting IE over Chrome or Firefox to avoid suggestions is like suggesting someone ride a horse to avoid the potential of a car crash.
