Tips to avoid being filtered by Websense

Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent Websense (or other filtering services) from listing your site on their block list?

The main one that I can think of is to make sure you don't list "games" (or any related keywords) in your meta tags... It might be difficult for a gaming forum to avoid this, but someone may be tempted to add that to their keywords if they install an arcade on their forum.

Lots of people browse forums at work, so this is definitely something to keep in mind.

Also, do most of these services function on meta tags? That was my assumption, but it may not be entirely true.

I think most of those filtering services work on Domain-based blocking by a big company that maintains lists. like DNSBL for email
