Abuse Mail recieved against your site. Please reply them, settle the issue.

It has come to my attention that the website http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ , as hosted on Xisto, has repeatedly abused certain parts of the Terms of Service, and am requesting its removal.
Firstly, in the attempt to advertise their message board, they have gone to multiple other boards and mass-spammed a promotion on them to dozens of users. Doing this - spamming and only signing up to promote themselves - was against the rules of each of those boards.

This goes against one of the Unacceptable Uses listed: "Spam and Unsolicited Commercial Emails (UCE) are not allowed. Accounts will be cancelled and deleted immediately if found to be spamming or sending out UCE."

Alternatively, it also breaks this: "Xisto.com has a zero tolerance policy for the use of its network for the posting of messages or commercial advertisements, which violate the rules, regulations, FAQ or charter of any newsgroups or mailing list."

A second abuse was repeated theft of material from other websites. Initially, the format and layout of their message board entirely mimicked that of Rockman Perfect Memories( http://www.rockmanpm.com/forum/ ). It was only changed recently. More importantly, they have continually stolen news articles from other websites without permission from the original writer. In their Megaman News section, multiple articles have been ripped from the Atomic Fire site. This goes against both the legal rules within the AF site itself, but yet another ruling, this time under Excessive Use:

"No Copyright material without written permission from the copyright holder is allowed. [...] You shall obtain any and all necessary consents and clearances to enable you lawfully to make use of all and any intellectual property rights through the Services, including without limitation, clearance and/or consents in respect of your proposed domain name."

The staff of the Megaman Online website have been notified and requested to desist on many occasions, by many people. They have almost always been met with deletion of messages or bans. Recently, they have sent another round of spam advertisements. Tonight I attempted to post a message on their forum to tell them to stop, quoting said Terms of Service. My post was deleted and my account (and, I presume, IP address) were banned for "bad posts".

Therefore, I come to you, and I trust you will deal with it accordingly. A copy of this message will be sent both to webmaster(-at-)Xisto.com and abuse(-at-)Xisto - Web Hosting.com as I am uncertain as to which is the proper address.

If you wish, you may contact the website owners of Rockman Perfect Memories, Megaman Empire, or Atomic Fire to confirm any of this:

http://www.atomic-fire.com/

Looks to me like this issue has been going on for a very long time, so this is not the only instance. I honestly look down on people who even borrow other people's layouts because it diminishes your creativity and increases, as proven, the occurances of incidents like this and your dependency on that person for layouts. It's SO easy to make a layout because a layout can be anything. I strongly urge that you talk to the person who sent this abuse letter and get this resolved - send copies to OpaQue if things work out so you can get your account back, but LISTEN TO THEM IN THE FUTURE. It's their content. They have the right to tell you how it's going to be used.
