About PICS Filter FAIL Rules

After you have defined a PICS filter (see PICS Filter Definition), you can specify certain URLs that will always fail when that filter is active.

Fail rules prevent specific URLs from being viewed. If a requested URL is on the fail list, the server ignores any PICS labels associated with the URL and does not retrieve any information from ratings services about the URL. This means that a URL on the fail list is not served, regardless of the PICS content label.
