Sorry if the last post was harsh, but like everyone else is saying we are trying to keep you out of trouble. Adhere to the AUP. One more thing, make sure encryption does go against the policy. Like my network, only authorized encryption is allowed. Encryption makes it hard for admins to monitor the network if we don't know that it's being used.
To address the admins you refer to, they are acting in an unprofessional manner if they are discussing what is monitored on the net. They do have a boss!
