Hi all...

My PM to Leeloo... And post here:

Hi Leeloo,

Before opening a topic, first a PM to you.
My forum retronet.actieforum.com / just-retronet.com is deleted/blocked?
With some reasons as pornographic material? I don't get it, there was no pornographic material on Retronet?
And there is no hacking material on it? I don't get it... I had over 8000 members and more dan 150k+ posts?

A quote from it:
Onlineguardian has banned " retronet.actieforum.com " hosted on forumotion.com due to the violation of terms of services.

The possible deletion reasons are as following :

Violent or repulsive content
Hateful or abusive content
Defamatory content and / or affecting the integrity of a person

Credit card fraud
Hacking

Regards,
Gill...

Yes I did...
I just want my forum back... o.0

You can than hope for the best outcome. There's nothing really else can do. I'm sure if you did not breat the TOS you'll get your forum back. Than this is solved?

Lmao, PMed with Leeloo, there's no way to get it back...
I had my forum since 2007 and its just deleted/banned in one day, without a warning?!

Really sad... I thought Forumotion was great... Till now.

Shit happens, I cannot do something about it, I just have to accept it. Shocked

Sad sad sad sad...

I'm sorry about your forum. I'm sure you'll make a better one soon. Anything you accept to respect must be respected like that the Forumotions TOS too. If there was something ilegal on it it's better for you that it ended like this.

Hi, all you can do now is wait. If you truly believe that there was nothing breaking our terms of service then it the decision will be reversed. However if there was indeed content which broke our TOS then the forum will remain banned.

As the forum webmaster, you have the responsibility of monitoring your forum and knowing what kind of content is being posted on your forum.

There was a subforum which was breaking the TOS from forumotion, a little hack subforum.
Ok, agree with that, that it isn't acceptable... But a little warning before deleting it would be great?
When I get a warning, I would delete it immediatly...

What a weird system here on forumotion...
After almost 5 years, now in one simple click, deleted without a warning.

If the offence is minor you'd get a ten days counter. You should not have allowed it if you knew that's against the rules and law too what was obvious. I'm afraid nothing can be done if LeeLoo confirmed it. There's no point really debating on it. Sorry.

by Gill May 3rd 2012, 6:21 pm

Ok, great that I know this now. Never again hosting by Forumotion, because with even a little wrong topic my forum can get banned with no warning...

Regards.
