Copyrights infringement Issue

by Jade~Prince Mon 18 Feb 2013 - 14:51

Respected admins,

I just received the "Copyrights infringement" warning in my control panel, saying "Element(s) detected on this forum: Copyrights infringement". I would like to know that how would i know about which elements the report has been made??
I have deleted the few topic i think would be against the rule. However is there any way I would know exactly for what we are reported?

We will surely remove the post(s) that may have violated the rules.

Any help greatly appreciated

With Regards,
Baba

All posts will need to be considered, not just recent ones. If you have removed everything in violation of our terms of service, then your forum will be fine.

i would say look at as much as you can it could be anything from just a photo or pic to some thing you have that is set to download.

We can not really help you on that without going in to your forum and reading all your threads and posts. It's down to you and your staff members to know what is right or not and remove the info as it comes on your site.

We all miss things now and then even myself.
I wish you luck Wink

Hello,

Yes, from what I know, some of your download links that were in the announcements were removed immediately because of an official complaint.
You need to clean up the whole forum.

Ok guys thanks so much for the replies. I just have to now wait for timeout I guess.
Just one for question. Our website with which the forum is link is blocked by Google for some malicious redirects. We are trying to clean that up. What I did like to know is , does forumotion ban/delete forums if they are linked with problematic website or are they just concerned with the materials that are posted on forumotion forums ?

Thanx for all the help. Smile
