Reporting Illegal Users

[Steve Machol]

Thanks. I just wanted to ask the piracy investigators if they ever received this report, and if so, what they did about it.

Snyx, if the reported forum in in our license database, then there's no reason to check further. Unless of course there's a specific IP violation report.

Hmmm, and how are you to make sure that there is only one case of vB per domain that it's suscribed to?

And I got your PM's back, you should have one waiting.

I'm not sure what this means.

Nonetheless the piracy investigators provided me data about the URL you reported and they indeed did follow-up on it.

Well for some odd reason I have been banned.....and this reason I am unsure of. However I will avoid that and move on to answering your question.

IE if I have a board at http://www.domain.com/forums and another vB at domain.com/board do you guys crack down on that? Or if sub-domains have forums that are on the same liscense?

And I did not receive anything, but the problem was taken care of.

Now the question is why was I banned....

[Steve Machol]

You can have only one installation of vB oper license. If the two URLs point to the same physical files and database, then this is not a violation.

As for the banning, please PM me.

I did PM you, and I PM'd Ed as well just in case; you weren't online ATM and Ed was, so I wanted to see if I could get an answer quicker.

[Steve Machol]

I have answered you.

The final answer to the original post is that ALL piracy reports are investigated, regardless of the claims made otherwise.
