Does NATS censor PPRuNe?

Just a quick question. Viewing PPRuNe on a NATS computer (in my break, of course) I can view all the threads, and the pages load almost instantly. But when I try to view the two threads that are critical of NATS (The pay negotiations and £45 million cost savings ones) I get the page headers and banner ads, but no posts appear. Is this NATS security playing Big Brother, or something to do with PPRuNe servers being extra busy?

Radarman,

you could always try typing something " deemed disapointing "onto the thread, and see what happens!

If a big off klaxon goes off and a p45 prints off you know you're correct in your assumptions!!!

mf,
How very succinct! I think the P45 has already been printed. All I have to do is go to the Kremlin to collect it.

If you hit the refresh button when it appears to be slow in loading the page, that usually works.

I don't think they censor it, but I have been the subject of a WMs witchhunt. (Even though it was a case of mistaken identity)

The staff hand book states something along the lines of (this is not a quote), We recognise the importance of the use of discussion boards; although employees may use such sites for information they should not take part in dicussions.
So they do at least state they are happy for people to use them.

But that would imply that NATS management are scared of hearing the truth !!

I have the impression that there is something nasty and evil about NATS. Am I wrong? Are they really a very nice organisation with an altruistic attitude, and I've just missed it?
