Just to clear up any confusion,

The Global Allow list is a user-maintained list and doesn't get
updated by any process or by Networkmaine staff (unless requested).

It's more than likely that if a bad URL was in this list it was put in
the Allow list instead of the Block list by mistake, by a local Joebox
administrator.

However, there were a lot of default entries in these lists as
examples.  Most of them are not necessary and should be replaced or
reviewed by the local Joebox administrator to make sure it meets their
local filtering policy (just as you would want to review a pre-defined
Firewall policy to make sure that it meets your security requirements)

It is possible that a URL like this was in the example lists by
default as an oversight.

I did a quick check, though, and this doesn't seem to be the case in
this instance, unless everyone has found it and deleted it already.

Just to confirm, does anyone else have this URL in their Global Allow
list?  It's likely worth a quick double-check.

It is not the standard operating procedure of Networkmaine to add porn
sites to people's Global Allow lists. ;-)
