Unblocking site for RM peeps

Post by monkey »

It's currently not possible to access RMC from the office computer, seems that the RM IP address range is blocked (it displays a message saying that the site has closed down, had me fooled for a bit!).

Any plans to lift this block please?

As far as I know its not put in place by RMC as we have people registering with Royal Mail email addresses. I believe its been set up by Royal Mail on their corporate Firewall.

Nope, it's a block by RMC admins, I'm 99% sure of that. I can access the site itself fine, but as soon as I try to get into the forum, I see a forum page that says the forum has closed.

It's not an RM error, nor a plain ordinary IE error, it's an RMC error page.

So, no plans to remove the block then? Shame that :-(

Just a question, how do you have any time to access RMC during work time?

TBH as far as I'm aware the block is on the RM side (something about this site and bullying) and not from RMC.

I don't have time during work time, but I have time during my time, at work (i.e lunchbreak, before and after shifts etc).

Shame that you guys won't unblock it :-(

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Fair play POSTMAN, but you do realise that most of the managers (and manager-wannabes) are such arselickers that they'll just access the site from home anyway? But yeah, I understand the rationale, as frustrating as it may be for me! :-)

Keep up the good work that you do here.
