: The Vancouver community Net cut my account for posts I made to usenet :
I posted some articles that the VCN claimed was "Hate" : but since they

added a new rule to their user : aggreement addressing so called hate
speech. 

: Now, this is where it gets really Orwellian

: After the new rule was added, I stopped using my VCN account

: Just a couple of days ago, I attemtpted to log onto my VCN account

: The problem is, the articles in question were posted *BEFORE*

: I would have my account cut.


: should VCN or any freenet for that matter be able to create new rules
: and use them against you for things that were done or said
: before the rule was created?

: For example:

: Someone posts his/her phone number on usenet asking for people to call 
: them for whatever reason.

: Then the Freenet decides that they no longer want people to use the system
: to post phone numbers to usenet.

: the Freenet issues a warning to the user that they don't want people
: doing that, even though there is nothing in the user agreement 
: saying no posting of phone numbers allowed.

: The user responds by telling the freenet that unless it's in the rules
: they will continue to post their phone number if they wish.

: The Freenet responds by having a board meeting to discuss it
: then comes up with a new rule stating that the freenet users are now
: no longer allowed to post phone numbers.
: and sends out a mass mailing to all users stating the new rule.


: The user hwo posted their phone number reads the new rule and stops
: posting any more phone numbers, thus obeying the freenet rules.


: Then the user after a few weeks attempts to log onto the freenet
: only to find that their account was cut, because they posted their phone 
: number in the past...evn though the rule against it never existed.

: Is the Freenet right or was the users account wrongfully terminated?
