"Q: Some pages block because of "weighted phrase limit exceeded". What does this mean?

"A: There are certain words or phrases, which carry a weight or a value. These are generally words or phrases that have sexual or violent connotations. For instance the word sex will carry a weight of 5, while rape has a weight of 20. If the sum of all the weights on a page exceeds 120 then we deem that page to be nonviewable and it gets blocked. Certain phrases may have a weight of 200, so that if that phrase or word is anywhere on the page, even once, we will block the page. Weighted phrasing is just one of a number of methods we use to scan the contents of a page. It is the way we catch pages that have never been seen by our system before. Sometimes this will be too strict and block a site such as a newspaper or church because they discuss these topics. The filter cannot determine why the phrase is on the page, only that it is. In these cases fill in the form on the blocking page and we will remedy the situation."
