Probabtionary Ppruner, post number 1... Not willing to post on your normal account?

Presumably, all those cadets out there who happen to say something CTC find distasteful, so defined "solely at CTC's discretion" will also be sent to the gulag or to toil in the salt mines.
What nonsense, it's not North Korea out here. They have an issue with downloading tens of gigabytes from bittorrent and/or downloading of porn. I don't think they're being unreasonable in that, I certainly wouldn't expect them to give us a 'porn allowance'.

Pprune is listed as one of their 'approved sites', so I don't think they're trying to hinder our 'freedom of expression'. Let's be honest, CTC have their hands full (and some) and doubt very much they would be hiring a crack team of specialists to decipher and censor our emails and other internet traffic. They seemingly will only take issue with the website (eg. porn.com) or volume of traffic.

The internet, before they brought in Zenbu, was abysmal; slower than dialup. At least some restriction on downloading has freed up bandwidth for those who want to check their emails/speak to family on Skype etc.

It's not the best situation to be in but I personally have greater things to worry about (training, job markets, what's on for dinner etc)
