It all depends what dl you have. just because you might be posting rar files from a file host dose not necessarily mean that you are breaking tos. it depends what content is being shared.. so go over and read all the tos fully and understand what can be in violation. then remove anything that might be.
see your mods and other admins have to dl any files from a file host to know whats in the file. someone can say there family pic's(what ever?) but might be sharing porn or illegal software etc... so you have to moderate everything that is posted on your forum to be sure.
the easy way to avoid this is to not allow any links from a file host. but it depends what your forum is about and what is being shared? so once again just mod everything and know what content is on your forum and remove anything that is in violation. then you should be fine.
if you have a lot of post. then i suggest you close your forum until ever thing has been removed and checks out.
but keep in mind everyone. that sharing content from a file host is not in violation.. it's a matter of if the content being shard is in violation. if it's not? Then there are no rules/tos saying you can not share files from a file host. rar zip what ever?
I'm just saying this because i have seen people be like .there forum is sharing rar files there in violation.. no no no. only if the content of what is being shared brakes tos. then and only then will it be in violation
IF WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT RAR ZIP FILES FROM A FILE HOST BEING SHARED?
JUST DISREGUARD THIS COMMENT. SORRY
