The basic impetus rules site link registers as adult content or pornography on my mobile phone and wifi broadband filtering. Is this just me or is there something on the domain that's genuinely adult content?

Sadly, I could find nothing there pornographic. Perhaps because it deals with war? But that makes no sense because video games are a lot more graphic than removing bases from tables. So I would suggest a deeper, more sinister answer exists somewhere.

Maybe there's a lot of strong language in Italian?

Maybe they've added a Sumerian army list. When your chariots are pulled by a 'wild Asian ass,' you're always risking censorship.

Ask them to kindly remove the 'butt naked' Spartans from the page headers and see what happens. thumbs up

Any mention of 'naked celt fanatics' or similar usually triggers the same content message. I used to have the same problem on my work system when looking at manufacturers.

That might do it. Content filters have steadily improved (I can nearly always get to essexminiatures.co.uk now, despite the embedded string "sex" in the URL), but still require a lot of human intervention to be accurate.

Corporate and institutional content filters tend to be the worst at blocking innocent sites, since it's pretty hard for employees to find a way to ask a network admin to unlock a recreational web site without admitting to wasting company time…

Thanks for sympathising all. Interestingly, when you google for the URL + p**n (starred to protect the innocent)

link
(this is just a google link but probably best not followed at work)

…it comes up with the top link of:

Emetophilia p**nography involving vomiting and gagging …

Nice! You learn something new every day.

Maybe the restriction is valid after all. I can get to the rules from another PC, so I think I'll not investigate further.
