Actually, without the support of "those who make the rules", your ISA policies
are so much floofy stuff.
Get them to publish an "acceptable use policy" for the company and make the
responses commensurate with the violation severity.
Personally, I favor aluminum softball bats as a "user adjustment" tool; they
make such a satisfying "bing" when they make skull
contact.

You say that (This is called content or web access control.) so
casually. It's amazing. It just rolls off the tongue.
If I had my way, and I usually do for this sort of thing which is why
this is so frustrating, I would simply yank their access. But there are
others that feel that I have been reading to much BOFH lately and that I
may create a user jihad against I.S. Personally, I don't see the issue.
If you abuse the privilege of the fairly open access that we provide,
you loose that privilege. But this is a new era I guess where I could
hurt somebody's feelings for pointing out that surfing for cell phone
ring tones, wall papers, screen savers, games, or wherever they are
surfing when they download every web bug known for a computer THAT IS
NOT THEIRS was not a proper use of company resources.
Ahhhh ... Thanks for letting me vent. I feel much better now.
Now... Where is that "bigger hammer"?

This is called content or web access control.
You need to look into controlling website access by users.
