Instead all I got was responses from non-moderators ...
The really farcical outcome of this is that despite me outlining that the banned member has a link to his website hosting (deemed 'offensive' in your opinion, David), it would appear that eUKhost staff are not in agreement because they have not removed the link to it in the banned member's profile! |
I have contacted the moderator in question and hopefully they will settle your fears regarding this subject.
The guidelines that the forum follows are much the same as the general service guidelines located at
eUKhost - UK Web Hosting ::: Terms Of Service. If its not allowed on the servers or sites hosted here, its highly unlikely to be allowed as part of the forum.
I can understand what you are saying but I am making this post in my capacity as a moderator and you can be assured that I have made the moderation team aware of your concerns.
The link, although not deemed offensive by myself (it personally takes a little more to offend me) it could be deemed offensive to other eUKhost customers and especially those under 18 where it would be inappropriate to advocate such content.
If a moderator believes that a member of the forum is breaching any rules / guidelines or accepted standards such as set out in the TOS they have an absolute right to suspend (or ban) the user in question pending investigation.
I hope that you feel this reponse is satisfactory and if I can help you in any other way then I will be more than willing to do so.
Hope the rest of your day goes well

UPDATE: I have contacted one of the Admins regarding removing the potentially offensive content from this users profile as they are the only ones with the authority to do so
