We expect subscribers to honor the polices as laid out at:

  https://www.altopia.com/policy.html

We do not keep up with individual group FAQs nor do we enforce policies 
based on them.

Accusations of abuse result in investigations of alleged abuse.  If a 
customer is believed to be violating our policies, we normally give a 
warning, followed by escalation if warnings are ignored.  Sometimes a 
violation is so egregious, like flooding or massive advertising, that we 
may shut down posting ability without a warning.  Depends on the 
circumstances.

Accusations of abuse which are not in violation of our policies are 
generally ignored.  Sometimes I reply to a complainer, but normally if 
they have not taken the time to understand our policies, I do not bother.

Happy to answer any other questions,
Chris Caputo
President (and Owner), Altopia Corporation
