It brings us all level together and the positive social atmosphere is what makes this so popular. My brother and I have been playing WoW since day one and have been addicted ever since.

I'm Aussie too. If I could vote for the party which would reduce my ping to WoW by a say 50ms they'd get my vote. What's being talked about here is the opposite. Sad. Remarkable. I’m Aussie too.

We have a few in our guild, and not only is the latency an issue but net data caps across all ISPs. We've had some guildies have to drop a raid right in the middle because they hit their cap and every fight was causing a disconnect. I really hope this sort of thing does not become an international standard. I know the international community has been criticizing china for its Great Firewall of China for years, wonder if AU will come under the same scrutiny. Will be interesting to see if the complaints against china have been biased because of their form of government. .-= Chaous's last blog ... <a href="http://treemenator.wordpress.com/2010/03/07/alright-so-i-fail/" rel="nofollow">Alright so I fail.</a> =-.

Regarding on the violence and pornography thing.. you can't filter sites, still the parent's patronage and guidance needs to apply if you want to protect those young children.

I've heard similar stories about games being granted an MA rating when they really ought to be for 18+, but the classifications office either has to stick them incorrectly on the MA rating or reject them from sale in Australia altogether. @Jokey Liberals claim that they oppose the ISP filter 100% right now, but they were responsible for the early stages of this legislation when they were in power.

A filter that would be acceptable by the Australian public would have too little impact on illegal Internet activity. Shame the Labor guys were too fool-hardy to come to a similar conclusion. Child-pornography is evil, but I can't help but wish all this money was being given to law enforcement agencies to help combat it directly. Labor's scheme is a lie: the Internet will not be safer for your children, good parents will still be required to do as much good parenting as they currently do. The video games rating problems are all a lie as well. I was watching my housemate play the latest Aliens vs Predator game and I would consider it an R18+ game. So did the censors at first, and then they dropped it to an M without any changes made by the developer. How exactly can parents trust the rating system when it lacks the categories required to inform adults and parents? I hear ICANN is bringing up discussions for a .xxx zone again. Last time it was knocked back by the same creepy and stupid religious folk who have no idea what they are talking about. Just think how easy it would be to filter out all the porn on the Internet if it was all in the same red-light district... .-= JokeyRhyme's last blog ... <a href="http://proudlygnomish.blogspot.com/2010/02/brief-wow-hiatus.html" rel="nofollow">Brief WoW-Hiatus</a> =-.

A 15 year old managed to bypass it over the course of a couple of hours a few years back. During a discussion program wih Stephen conroy last year he was questioned over it and the proposed filter and stated that it would only take about 5 minutes to bypass the new mandatory filter Oh and papa, th government has had a free downladable net filter for parents for many years now.
