Maybe this topic doesn't belong in this forum, but I wasn't sure where else I might ask the question.

Recently my site (http://www.exick.org) was classified by Websense in the "Sex" category. If you visit it, you'll see that it is clearly not. As such, I now can't reach it from work since my employer uses Websense and the Sex category is obviously a blocked one.

Does anyone know the right channels to go through to fix this?

The college I use to go to used Websense as well. I worked on a site for a fanclub for an actress back then and I needed access from the school campus. The only thing you could do is ask the network administrator to unblock it. If you have a valid reason they should do it...

Thanks for the quick reply.

I could ask my admin to unblock it, though I don't really have a legit reason why I need access to it since it's just my personal site. But that's not really my concern. My main concern is the fact that Websense is classifying my personal website as a sex site when it is nothing of the sort. I don't really want to contact their tech support since it's not really a tech support question, so I was wondering if there was a specific contact for these types of disputes with them.

Take off your thinking cap, forget what you know about the sites and context, look at the words, and consider which could be linked to s3x?
