Forum URL: saov3.proboards.com/Hi, I am muffin from SAOV3. I am wondering why our site got deleted. It was stated that it was due to some Terms of Agreement being broken, but no specific explanation or warning was given. So please can support shed some light in the matter? I hope for a timely reply. Thank you.

Also I would like to add that if this is regarding if the reason that someone reported our site to be copying someone else's then I do not appreciate how you took action without proper investigation. I admit that we left an old site called swordartonline.proboards.com, but we left due to the administrator not being active for almost half a year, coming online to ban people unnecessarily and without reason. We had asked for control of the site civilly, but the administrator of that old site did not refused to give to us. That is when we decided to move and made saov3.proboards.com, we used different skins, different coding and the only thing the same was the sword art online canon facts that we employ, but we never copied anything the previous Administrator made. So I do no see any reason why proboards staff deleted our site. So please explain.

I hope these decisions can be appealed and reversed. About half a year ago our forum gibbysplace.freeforums.net/forum received a complaint about the section called "Gibby's Pub" which had a password for members 18 years and over. We've always had the suspicion that the pb admin who demanded that this section be closed was pandering to a member, who wanted to cause use trouble because she didn't like a few controversial debate threads. Gibby's Pub had absolutely no nudity, porn, etc. nothing graphic. The pb admin complaint came a few days after this certain forum member got the password.
Now this member is very upset over a debate thread on "multiculturalism" and feels the debate should be censored and the thread deleted. There are no racist statements, no hatred is expressed towards any ethnicity. The fact that some people like me the author of this thread feel an ethnic mosaic is superior on the whole to the multicultural melting pot for all people is expressed and defended. Counter arguments are present too.
There was no talk of trying to take back multicultural areas or forcing an apartheid like condition. Just let the status quo of ethnically monolithic communities remain with their neighborhood schools was the argument on one side. The poster an immigrant from India choose to be offended. We've assured her that we condemn the British colonisation of her native country and no one is saying any people are inferior, but that many would simply prefer to live among their own people, with a shared heritage. The complaining poster is the same one that got the password to Gibby's Pub 2 days before a pb admin complaint claim. So we temporarily took the thread into the staffroom until things cool down. We certainly don't want to take risks
I'm the author of this thread and have bad personal experiences from "multiculturalism" . I posted the thread on another forum and it's still being debated. biglinmarshall.proboards.com/thread/6159/failure-multiculturalism
Certainly pb admins have their own personal opinions too, but chould a pb admin who also chooses to be offended by a thread like this simply on his/her own delete the entire forum? No appeal, no chance to reverse the decision?

A forum is not taken down for no reason at all That would be counter-productive for what ProBoards are trying to achieved. There is always a reason for a deletion. I do not have access to the specifics of why your forum was deleted, so can't comment specifically on that, but can assure you that there would have been a reason, and it would not have been simply because of personal opinions.
As was posted above, you will need to contact the abuse team at abuseteam@proboards.com and they will be able to help you further, perhaps appeal, and a possible reverse of the decision if possible.

To echo the above, the support admins don't handle abuse concerns, and have no access to that aspect of the service. For more information, reach out to our abuse department at the aforementioned address, abuseteam@proboards.com.

Curious, I would think that by this point in Proboards' long existence, The TOS would be more comprehensive - in order for there to be more clarity when it comes to board deletions such as this.

Any further questions can be asked in a new thread. This one dates all the way back to January where the initial question was already answered.
