1. Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server, or customer, of Mediumcube is strictly prohibited.

Possible actions include warnings, account cancellation, and civil or criminal legal action, depending on the seriousness of the attack.

1. Unsolicited commercial advertisements are not allowed in e-mail, and will likely result in account cancellation.

See the newsgroup or mailing list's charter for whether advertising is allowed or not.

2. "Spamming," or sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical and will be treated as such. Sending a message, especially an advertisement, to more than five or six recipients, is by itself spamming unless the individuals have specifically requested to be added to a mailing list on that topic. E-Mail is a person-to-person medium, not a broadcast medium.

3. Mediumcube does not tolerate Spam.  Upon your first Spam offense your account will be terminated and a maintenance fee of $1000 will be billed to your payment method used upon sign up.

4. Mediumcube will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

D. IRC -We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers. If one is found to be operating, it will be removed and your account terminated without prior notice to you.

E. Chat Rooms
