Keeping IT clean on the web

June 27, 2006 | Filed under: IT and Internet

A blog post picked up in our haphazard trawl shows the hazard of trying to keep things clean using technology:

From spenceruk on LiveJournal

“I’ve just added my name to Cancer Research UK’s ‘Cancer 2020′ petition. It’s all about urging politicians across the UK to start planning today for the cancer challenges of tomorrow.

“Kewl thing to do – but slightly challenging since they are using some daft filter to stop people entering silly names on the site. Mine apparently contained some swear name which took me ages to figure out but I’ve come to the conclusion it must have been “ass” in my surname *sigh*. “

    Our corporate spam filter marked emails from a certain Sylvia Gracey as spam. The reason?

    Thanks for picking up on my post – as someone who works for a charity *and* who works in IT, it’s nice to vent sometime.. How many times does the “control” of an IT department create problems for the rest of the organisation.
