Threatening aura 

A place, person or object that makes you feel like you're in danger just by looking at it, sometimes characterized by unsanitary condition. It maybe a dirty toilet with a scary bugs bunny back seat, or maybe it's a gaming setup completely littered and covered with redbull cans and cigarette butts; no matter what it is, you can actually feel the bad juju just by looking at the picture.
"Yo check out this toilet look how disgusting it is."
"It doesn't even have a seat it's just an orange cone..."
"Definitely gives off a threatening aura doesn't it?"

productivity throttling controls 

Security devices and configurations which inhibit or minimize employee productivity. Employee productivity may be impacted by limiting access to information, communication and computing functionality, as well as by limiting computing performance. Controls may block websites, may block communication channels such as IRC, may slow computing devices by using full-disk encryption, antivirus, and spyware, may break applications by performing man-in-the-middle attacks and by misconfiguring applications. For some employees, substantial effort may be expended to find workarounds to bypass controls.

Tim: The productivity throttling controls are misconfigured to arbitrarily disable TLS connections in IE. Go into Tools and enable TLS connections.
