Forum soon to be deleted due to ToS violation - question
Forum soon to be deleted due to ToS violation - question
Couldn't think of another section to put this in
So today we found our forum has the red message, saying we have 9 or so days to be in conformity of the ToS or it will be deleted. Sadly the only info it gives us is "Other Terms of Service infringement". So I have a few questions.
1. I know without a doubt we've posted some inappropriate content/images. If said content is deleted, will our forum be okay, or is it just doomed even if the stuff is removed?
2. Will the message go away if we remove the content, or is it there till the timer runs out? I'm worried that even if I remove the offending content, we might still wake up to the forum being gone, not really knowing what the issue was.
Thank you

2.The Message has to go away if you remove the content.

Hello @Derp-chan
If you have anything that should not be seen on a forum to members that are under the age or 13 then you should not have it on there in the first place.
You are bound to keeping to our TOS and should have read them before you make a forum.
If you remove the things you think are the problem then after that date the forum will be Okay.
If we find there is still a problem in any part of your forum even in deleted files (trash can) then your forum will still be deleted without any other warning's
there is no other way to remove the warning in your ACP until the Date gave...
If no other problems found in your site it will just go on the date/time gave.

Trash can? Is that where completely deleted topics go, or only files that were uploaded to the forum (not through imgur, photobucket, etc).

I see
I'll just delete most of our content and hope for the best on the 16th, after being around for almost two years there's far too many topics to go through and single out instances.

when i say Trash can i mean when you move a topic to a hidden part of the forum and not Delete it from our servers.
As for photobucket well that is down to you and your members to remove them we have NO power over them as it is not our system..
All we are asking is that you Remove any text / Photo's / pitchers That may be seen as inappropriate content/images. You have to remember that the law says that we can be open to members that are under the age of 18 and the forum is set so some members will get in as young as 13 or younger.
Our TOS is there to make sure you stick to our rules as a site and if your found to be not be sticking to them TOS then your forum will get a warning or even deleted on the spot.. You are lucky you got this warning some don't even get that.
