NSW Department of Education at its best

MyBB Community Forums & DET Filtering

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

You don’t block the home page for MyBB but you block the community forums. I guess MyBB will no longer be used as a classroom resource for Tafe.

    […] NSW Department of Education at it’s best - NSW Department of Education figures it might as well block MyBB. This means that every public school (including TAFE) is unable to access the MyBB website and forum, without administrative credentials. […]

    If I were in your position, I’d be very pissed off. I would walk up to the technology information resource center and make them remove the block. Stupid a$$ filters

    It doesnt work because you need to be using a computer accessing the NSW DET internet.

    I can submit a removal request for the school I work at but they’ll unblock it specifically for that school.

    Because I don’t manage the connection at College (Tafe) submitting a removal request there is essentially useless.
