We already reserve the right to terminate accounts for any reason we see fit (though that power has only been excercised a couple of times, to my knowledge, and apparantly for (what the board felt was) good reason. The draft AUP sets out a list of actions the board MAY take, if any action is taken at all. The actions are, IMO, quite reasonable, including; warnings, referral to enforcement agencies, referral to legal experts, arbitration, suspension, and termination. (I feel like I should be saying all of this with a Schwarzzennegellian accent) How does this make us *more* liable? -- Marc Bissonnette InternAlysis Corporate Internet Research and Results! http://www.internalysis.com
