hi,
Commons was blocked in my college too. All it took for me to get it unblocked was a 25 min conversation with Head of IT dept. She did the needful to unblock Commons. Suggest talking to the college's/cyber cafe's network administrator first to unblocking websites.
Censorship of content on Commons: I am against censorship. I have nothing more to add to that conversation.

Say what? There two separate things here.
- Chapter's are indeed not responsible for content - that holds true
for *everyone* except the people who post content. 2. That a Chapter is not responsible for content, by design, does not mean they lose any right to speak as a Chapter or otherwise especially with respect to things a community can take a stand about - the personal image filter being one of them. A Chapter that is the voice of a community can do many things with respect to content.
I don't see the two positions as being immiscible.
Thank you.
Best,
