This includes postings that disrupt or interfere with our technical operations. In such a case a note from the Administrator that removed the posting will replace the original offending post or upload.

We reserve the right to close or ban, temporarily or permanently, any user's account as we deem necessary. The user will be notified and informed of the reasons and measures taken.
