Copyrights Infringement Warning!

by udarsha45 February 13th 2013, 11:19 am

Dear "www.bleachstory.net" forum administrator(s), it appears that your forum doesn't respect our Terms of service. Our service is free, so we are urged to only display legal content on the forums.

Element(s) detected on this forum : Copyrights infringement

You have until the 22-02-2013 to be in conformity. After this delay, we will have to delete your forum if it still isn't in conformity. This warning will only disappear after the end of the countdown.

That is the warning I get. I would like to know what should I do... Do i need to delete anything? Please help!

Hello,

You've got this warning because of an official complaint about copyrighted elements in your forum.
You need to delete all this content, if you still have it.
Please be sure that there's no more illegal download links or book pages, for example.

Thanks !

There was no download links or anything just website links...

Anyway, the 2 sub sections that contained this copyrighted infringement was automatically deleted from the whole forum...

So I would like to ask; why is that warning still appearing on the admin panel? 0-o

Because the owner of the copyrights asked for the immediate removal of these 2 sections.
Now, you need to remove all other illegal content if you don't want to see your forum banned.

The forum will be checked again at the end of the countdown.

Yes, I guessed that. Very well, though I would like to know what other sections have been reported or that holds copyright infringement, if you don't mind.

I can't tell you, I'm sorry, because I don't have more details about that.

Oh, that's okay. Last question; If I may ask, if mt site does get deleted/banned by any chance, there is no way of restoring it?

No. You can still contest the decision, but as I told you, your forum received an official complaint from the copyrights owner.
Don't worry, your forum won't be deleted if you respect the rules.
