-=fair Warning Is Given=- to all hosted members

[NilsC 0]

This notice is for hosted members, and is meant as a fair warning to let you know that we are using a script to validate all hosting credits. The script run once every hour and has three parameters.

 

1, it checks to see if hosting credits are below 0 and if below 0 the account is suspended.

 

2, it checks to see if an account has <= -30 (Less than or equal to negative thirty) hosting credits and if an account is found it will be terminated all data will be removed and the hosting space will be cleared for others to use.

 

3, it checks to see if your hosting credits is >= 4 (Greater than or equal to 4) hosting credits. A suspended account will be reinstated at that time and you will be able to access your cPanel again, ftp and web site should be back to normal (It may take an hour from the time you got +4 hosting credits until the account is reinstated)

 

There is no warning email sent because you should know how many hosting credits you have. If you don't copy paste or spam your hosting credits are safe, if you plagiarize other peoples work you may loose hosting credits and the time you think you had may not be right. If we delete large copied and pasted content your hosting credits will be decreased with more negative points than what you gained from cheating. If you end up with -30 hosting credits due to this, your account will be deleted the next time the script runs. We do not back up your site so don't ask if we have a backup of the material you had there.

 

If your posting rights are suspended because of spam or other violations, your account will be suspended when you reach 0 and terminated at -30 hosting credits. So it's important that you do not spam or use other peoples work. (If you are using your own work from another site, then you should state so in the post and include a link to the site and your username there. We do check to see if posts are copied from other sites so without that you may be accused of stealing your own work.)

 

If you lose your hosting and you come back and stay active you can PM an admin and have you account reset to 0 so you can start gaining hosting credits and then if you ask for hosting again it will be reinstated when you have enough hosting credits.

 

Before we used to post a list of users who had the hosting terminated, that will no longer be the case. So if you stay away and hosting is terminated, don't come back with an excuse for why should get your hosting back.

 

What this means that you as hosted members are the responsibility for your accounts and your hosting is in your hands. We don?t have time to go and look at every account and then warn people that are going to lose their hosting.

 

Thank you

Nils
