Blocked Site

[SnakeBite]

How the heck does a motorcycle forum get blocked here in Thailand when said site contains NO nudity of any kind and is not political in any form. This is what I get when I try to go to the website:

ขออภัย

เว็บไซต์นี้เป็นเว็บไซต์ที่ไม่เหมาะสม

กระทรวงเทคโนโลยีสารสนเทศและการสื่อสาร

โดยได้รับความร่วมมือจากผู้ให้บริการอินเทอร์เน็ต

และบริษัท กสท โทรคมนาคม จำกัด (มหาชน)

จำเป็นต้องปิดกั้นเว็บไซต์นี้

หากมีข้อคิดเห็นอื่นใด หรือพบเว็บไซต์อื่นที่ไม่เหมาะสม

โปรดแจ้งผ่านดวงตาข้างบนหรือ

ict.cyberclean.org

( Sorry! the web site you are accessing has been blocked by ministry of information and communication technology )

How does one get on this and how does someone get a website removed? Thanks for any help.

The reason must not be Porn or politics, that could something else. To find out, call to ITC and ask for info!

There seem to be wide ranging problems tonight, primarily with True. It's even been suggested that a specific range of IP addresses may be affected rather than 'everyone'. For about 10 days there have been strange problems with some sites disappearing, the yahoo is obscene notification message {which was even raised in the Bangkok Post last week!} amongst others. Initially many of us were saying it's the Long Vac etc. but it seems more likely to me that an update, possibly to the filtering software and routing has failed and maybe the events tonight are part of an attempt to reestablish connexions correctly.

Or it could just be SAFU.

We talk maybe 100 times (maybe 50 sure) to ICT about http://sweater.my-age.net, which has nothing to do with politic, porn (other then plastic dolls showing sweaters).

In the past if we called them and send a fax, then we got this website unblocked.....to get blocked only one or two days later again. Now this website is just a redirect to another domain name and we not even want to talk to ICT anymore.

In the end, we found that it is difficult to communicate with them, they never keep they word, they are not controlled by any ministry control board....... Complains which they not understand are by Thai standard moved to recycle archive.
