Gooooooooooooooooooood Morning SuperForest!
Hello Sexies!
Ah ha ha! The power of a polite letter! For those of you just signing on until very recently SuperForest was being blocked by Websense for containing “sex.” That was because we use the word sexy. A lot.
A polite letter on Friday generated the following response:
“Thank you for writing to Websense.
The sites you submitted have been reviewed. We have made an update to the following URLs in our master database to address this issue:
http://www.superforest.org/ – Society and Lifestyles
http://superforest.org/ – Society and LifestylesCategorization updates should be available in the next scheduled publication of the database. A new database is published every business day, five days a week, Pacific Standard Time. You should notice any updates referred to in this message within 72 hours.
Thank you for your assistance,
The Websense Database Services Staff

AWESOME!
A polite letter was all it took to get SuperForest unblocked in schools, libraries, and businesses around the world. Amazing.
So, check us out! We offer fresh positive communication many times a day, and all of Team SF is available for questions and interviews if you want to get more involved. contact{at}superforest{dot}org
Thank you, Websense. You’ve totally made my day!
Cheers,
Jackson

What a great example of the Humanifesto at work. Woo Hoo!
How awesome is this! I wish all people just sent gracious requests with clear and polite rhetoric when they were in disagreement. We would have much more of those win=wins!
YES!
Hooray! :D
