If I had to guess I'd say you work for a bank/insurance company.

What would you be doing at MSJ anyway? Tsk, tsk, tsk ... shame on the tortoise.

I would guess it's short for criminal. My employer also uses Smart Filter, and I've stumbled across a few sites that have been labeled 'Crim. Skills" also. I've noticed that smart filter isn't all that smart. I often get blocked from sites that don't sell anything because they list it as "on-line sales", as well as many sites that are blocked as "MP3 Sites", even though I've never seen anything even remotely music related on them, let alone actual MP3’s.

Short for "criminal," I presume.

You crim.

Not "crim" but "crim." - my guess would be "criminal skills", from the German word "kriminell" - you know, Krauts like to translate stuff very literally.



edit: shyte, I got double-sucker-punched - best explanation, though.

Actually, my theory is that it is supposed to be CRIME, but some dumba$$...

You have to be careful with those crim skills, there're a lot of gangs that use them. One gang wanted me to join because I'm pretty good with a bow staff.

I guess SmartFilter isn't as dumb as I thought. I just tried to read a linked story in the political forum, and it told me cbsnews.com is “Entertainment”. SmartFilter seemed to notice something that most people haven't: Most news outlets have nothing to do with reporting the news these days.

Access Denied by SmartFilter: Forbidden, this page is categorized as Entertainment.


That "Forbidden" is a nice touch. Makes it sound kind badass, don't you think?
