My account just got disabled for doing some illegal stuff!

Clearly the people working here don't have a clue what my website does.. why don't you carry out a full investigation before you actually disable peoples websites!

I feel sorry for you people!

Hello,

This suspension was issued automatically by our scanner. I'll pass your dispute onto our Abuse Compliance Officer who will review the suspension manually, and hopefully get your site back up and running as soon as possible. Please understand that this is purely procedure, and is no way targeting you specifically.

It's cause your proxy sucks and saves the page being viewed to the server. When it did this, it downloaded a 1:1 copy of the Facebook front page which isn't legal, and then suspended you for that.

However, because the proxy is the only thing on the account, you've now been permanently suspended for proxies, and will not be unsuspended. Thanks for wasting my time - I love waking up to an abuse review like this one [/sarcasm]

Tell me why it's illegal to temporarily store the source code to a downloaded web page on my own server? (for future reference)

I started devoloping the proxy dismorning, it's for personal use.

Thanks, Ben.

Hello,

a) Because it's not your page. b) Because it's our server. c) It's against the terms of service.

It wasn't downloaded to your own server. It was stored in your hosting account in x10hosting's free hosting server. x10hosting does have a say in what it allows in its servers. Copyright, trademark infringement, and phishing isn't allowed, which is what happened in your account.

The TOS also clearly says that proxies are not allowed in your account at all. It doesn't matter if it was for personal use. It shouldn't have been in your account in the first place.

You lot need to learn to sit back think first, then type.

I said FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

That means when I use my OWN server.

Now tell me why that's illegal?

It was the wording of your question.

Because the page is the property of its author. Unless you have their permission you can't store it.

Make sure you check up on, read /completely/, and follow the ToS of any service whos code you copy.

In facebook's case, Section 9 of their ToS covers what you're asking about: http://www.facebook.com/terms.php

You will not sell user data. If you are acquired by or merge with a third party, you can continue to use user data within your application, but you cannot transfer user data outside of your application.

We can limit your access to data.
You will comply with all other restrictions contained in our Facebook Platform Policies.
You will not give us information that you independently collect from a user or a user's content without that user's consent.
You will make it easy for users to remove or disconnect from your application.

You may use the logos we make available to developers or issue a press release or other public statement so long as you follow our Facebook Platform Policies.
We can issue a press release describing our relationship with you.

That, and this is not your own server. This is ours, and we explicitly disallow proxies. End of story, ticket closed, reopening it would be unwise.
