Hello,

Your forum may have some content which violates forumotion ToS

Can u check it out and see. Cuz I'm kinda a noob at this stuff, and I really need it to not be deleted.PLEASE

I've visited your forum, I not quite sure but I think is that your forum contains illegal/hack links, since i saw there are many download links on your forum.

It is psp plugins.but not illegal. Idk what to do.

There is hundreds of other sites that hav many more things than we do.
We had some psp movies.on there. But after I saw that message I deleted them all? When do they check to see if it's in compliance

I'll suggest to you that try to read carefully the forumotion ToS: https://www.forumotion.com/en/create-forum/terms-of-service.htm And if spotted some content that your forum have delete it immediately.

Hi,

From a GUEST perspective, thus having limited views, it appears that the Firmware section is not allowed, not to note that there may be more then 1 section that may be the cause of this.

Unfortunately, there is no way to find out the exact reason on why you have this warning

it does not matter if other sites have these such topics, this is your forum in question.
If you wish to make a complaint about any other ForuMotion forum, this is the tool & the link to use:

Sorry to post in this thread but can anyone help

Devan, please be patient, we all are volunteers except for Leeloo, who's out of the office for the weekend.
I've replied to your topic

Before we had the message we had some downloadable movies..and homebrew games..idk if there illegal..but they might be pirated so I tOok them off,but the message is still there.. And there is no porn,no other illegal stuff..

The message won't be removed, it will remain until the timer hits 0, then a member of our litigation team re-checks your forum. If it is re-complying, it won't be removed, if it is not, it will be removed.

For additional Notes: If you are in violation a 3rd time, and a member of litigation notices it, your forum is automatically removed, no warnings, no questions, just banned.

This is the first time it ever happened. I cant believe someone would report us,probably one Of our rival sites..could me deleting movies + iso's keep it from getting deleted?
Cuz this really bites..I'm pretty upset right now..

Yes, deleting them they would assist in preventing the removal of your forum.
However, if they are not the only reason the forum has the warning, if the rest of the reason(s) is not removed, your forum will still be removed.

But idk what else could be the problem . The only possible things we hav are psp plugins. And custom firmware. But there not illegal, ad it's the majority of my forum.might hav to make a new one..

I'm sorry to say, but they are possible reasons as well for the warnings
The firmware is in violation as it's customizing something that wasn't meant to be given out.

We're gonna hav to basically rebuild it now. Thanks to the moron who reported us and not one of the other 100 other psp hacking sites.

Then why are there hundreds of other sites that are up and running?

See we are part of a gaming community,and we tryin to help people on the games, not anything malicious.
But we deleted a lot of stuff,,so

We have deleted everything that we think is possibly violating the tos
Custom firmware,iso's, movies.
If it gets deleted then idk what is going on.

You should have some Legal DIsclaimer maybe.

Any modifications of a game could be illegal and could be classified as hacking. I suggest you go through your forum carefully and remove anything that could be breaking our terms of service.

If you think you've removed everything, then wait until the days finish counting down. If there is nothing illegal by then, then nothing will happen. However if you fail to do so then your forum will be banned.

Sorry bout double posting, Im pretty nervous bout all this.
Anyways but we deleted everything that is possibly illegal, the only other thing we hav now is psp plugins, which is not modding a game just XMB menu and stuff.

Alright then, so now all you can do is wait. As said before, if there's nothing breaking the terms of service by the time the days finish counting down then your forum will be fine.

Do you think our psp plugins are in violation of tos?
Because they aren't illegal, not that I know of.
And just a side note-wow. Guys respond fast xD
Thanks for all the replies

Eh, I'm not an expert so I'm not too sure. As long as Sony allows them, then I don't see a problem. However, you can't take my word for it.

This is what I found on hacking a psp-

i just got a new Sony PSP, way cool, and I found a great web site about hacking the PSP. On the site they say that it's totally legal, but is it? Should I do it? Oh, and what is homebrew?



Dave's Answer:
Let's start with the easy question: it's definitely not illegal to hack your PSP, whether that means you want to take a diamond-tipped drill and put small holes in the screen or whether you want to push it in directions that the developers didn't intend, even running programs not officially endorsed by Sony Corporation for the Playstation Portable (PSP). It's your PSP, after all.

There are limits to this freedom, however. You couldn't pull the "operating system" off the PSP, decompile it to some sort of source code (e.g., a human-readable programming language) then either profit from it or post it to the Internet. That'd be a violation of trade secrets, copyright, and, probably, patents owned by and licensed by Sony too.

With that out of the way, let's tackle the more important question: is it a good idea to hack your PSP?

In my opinion, no, it's not a good idea. Unlike many devices, the PSP has a bad habit of freezing up into an unrecoverable state if it's hacked incorrectly or maliciously, a term that the PSP hackers call "bricking" to refer to the device being about as useful as a brick when that happens. Scary given that you've probably spent $200 or more on the unit.

Don't get me wrong. I am delighted that there are hackers out there who are pulling the PSP apart and figuring out other ways to expand it, and it's darn cool that there are free games and other software available on the Internet for the brave PSP users who are willing to go beyond the narrow confines of Sony's Official and Endorsed Use of the Playstation Portable. More power to them - in fact, I wish Sony supported them in their efforts and it's a bit baffling to me that they have to operate under the proverbial radar.

But when I think of my trusty airplane companion and try to balance the fun and cool factor of downloading a game someone on the 'net wrote for the PSP against the requirement that my PSP stay at an earlier firmware version, one that probably prohibits me from playing most of the recent games released from Sony and its partners, and the fact that ending up with a "bricked" PSP is a greater than zero percent chance and, well, I haven't risked it yet.

You will need to make up your own mind in this situation, obviously, and I am hoping that some of these PSP hackers can pop onto the site and add some thoughts about risk and reward, about how they manage to run home-made ("homebrew" is a synonym) games on their PSP and also keep it ready to play the latest commercial titles, and whether they've ever bricked a Playstation Portable of their own.

Good luck to you. Be careful out there!






In that case^^ there is nothing on my site illegal. Psp plugins are not illegal.

If you believe so, however, there's a purpose why the litigation team send the message to your forum, I suggest you to re-read the TOS and and review your forum's content to avoid your forum from being banned. Also, It is not our job to find out what's illegal or something that made the decision of the litigation team to send this warning message to your forum due to disrespecting of our TOS.

The problem is you have been warned about our TOS since the beginning or before you created your forum when you checked the box that says you agree with our TOS so there's really nothing we can do but to remove what needs to be removed as soon as possible, once the decision has been passed by by the litigation team and your forum gets banned, you may choose to contest the decision if you believe that your forum didn't break the TOS, however, the decision is not on our side from then.

Thanks for the replies and I'm pretty sure we ate in compliance of terms of service.
So just waiting till 0seconds xD

Can I speak to a litigation staff member about this?
