Had to bust a dude for looking at gay porn on the library computers...

[casavant]

Damn, that was kind of uncomfortable. A middle-aged man in a dress shirt and slacks and everything. I was discrete about it, and he was very compliant. I just knelt down beside him and said very quietly, "Hey man, I don't care what you look at personally, but you can't look at that shit in here." Maybe I should have said "stuff" instead of "shit", but it didn't seem like a situation where I needed to watch my language, ya know? Anyway, I didn't say it mean-like. Fun and excitement in the library.

The question should be: Why the fuck is that shit available in a public library?

Because it's a lot easier to go ask someone to refrain from viewing pornographic sites once in a while than to deal with all the false blocks people would get when looking for legitimate information. I think it would be total bullshit if they tried to block that kind of thing on these computers.

I've kicked soldiers out of the library before for surfing sex sites. Amazing they would think that was ok in a public library out in the open with kids and stuff.

 

[XBiker]

AAP was at your neighborhood library?

Scary.

 

[Uh Oh]

One of the kids at work today kept trying to get me to go this porn website....www.popcorn.com or something while we were in the computer lab today. I told him no, so he decides to look it up and show it to me. If I had wanted to be a bitch, I could get his computer privileges for the school year revoked totally. Not just internet, but period. I decided to let him slide, but made him change it immediately. The kid just wants to see how far he can push me, but when I say something, he listens.

Well, there aren't many kids around since this is a research library on campus, but I still don't see why someone would want to pull that stuff up in a public place. Seems it would be a little embarrassing to me.

Phatchik what grade do you teach?

 

[Uh Oh]

I don't teach. I work at an after-school program that has kids from kindergarten through eighth grade. This kid was in 5th grade. Which really bugs me that he even knows those sites. The school is on my campus and has grades K-12.

LOL. That's little boys for ya. My friends and I were talking about and looking at sexual stuff around that age. I remember when we were 11 or 12 and some hunters left a bunch of issues of Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler in a cabin of ours they rented for dear season. Man, we thought we were in heaven. I got many a hard-on looking at those mags.

 

[Uh Oh]

Well see, since the school is on campus, they have the same internet access that students do. There is nothing prohibiting them from looking at porn. I know it's natural, and they have seen worse. I don't know, it just kinda bothered me. I guess I'm just weird like that.

Thats nothing, at my college library there was this guy who would wack off behind the book shelves. I unfortunetly saw him right in the middle of one of his little sessions. I told the librarian and he was like, "not that guy again", and called security.

Now THAT was uncomfortable.

 

[Uh Oh]

Haz, this might be a stupid question, but is that you in your avatar?

 

[Haz]

Yeah, thats me, why do you ask?

 

[Uh Oh]

I was just curious. Very nice.

 

[Austin316]

thats just fucking GAY

 

[Uh Oh]

Hey, I love abs.....what can I say?

 

[Jimsbbc]

I got ratted on by this bitch where i used to work that saw Mommakin's avatar (big pic of her ass) and tried to get me busted for looking at "porno". Fucking hag!!! My boss just told me to keep it under wraps if iwanted to chat on this board, LoL!

Because its tough as shit to block EVERYTHING, I have a tough time filtering email or bad websites, you ALWAYS end up blocking legit stuff and letting some bad through.

 

[hippedy hop]

I am totally against surfing for porn in a public library. there is a petition at a government site www.whitehouse.com to bann certain descrete websites.

YOU SHOULD HAVE LOUD CAPPED HIS ASS AND EMBARRASSED HIM.

Yeah, its hard to block everything, while not blocking legit sites, but one of the _best_ programs to do so is "Websense". - www.websense.com . Has to be installed on a separate server though, but it has got a _huge_ database, and updatet manually/autmatically every day. Costs a few $$, but at EIM ( Employee Internet Managment) its simply the best..

Thats what we use at my job. Luckily this site isn't blocked (yet).

 

[bigguns7]

So casavant, you're a bouncer and a librarian? I'll bet you were a hall monitor in middle school.

I'm torn both ways on this one. I'm all for appropriate descrete behaviour in public,
but also I hate censorship.
Pimp C makes a good point for all you encouraging filtering software.
You set up a censorship program, and this site will probably get axed too.
I wonder why the library set up the computers so everyone can look over his shoulder in the first place.
How about a little privacy while you're browsing?
I could pick up "Catcher in the Rye" or other accepted "literary novels" off the stacks and read lurid descriptions that are just about as pornographic as anything on those sites,
and do it in complete privacy, without a librarian telling me what I can and can't read.
Seems to me the library created this "problem" (tempest in a teapot) in the first place, by making everything you browse viewable to everyone around, and probably did so on purpose.
Not so surprising considering most libraries are organized and managed by "little old ladies" that haven't gotten laid in ages.

This is a campus library where a large part of the ground floor is taken up with computers that students can use to find books in the library, check e-mail, do research, and work on papers. I don't see how putting all those computers in a location where the screen was not viewable by others would be logistically practical.
