since i always have a bad feeling when i delete spam from the puredata.info portal, i would like people to accept a "terms of use" text on registration.

when might this be of importance:

  • deleting spam content
  • deleting spamming users
  • deleting automatically created users (this should be handled by captchas, but spammers always find a way to circumvent protective stuff)
  • when the server goes down and data loss occurs (puredata.info is not a backup server for your videos)
  • inactive users
    • a lot of users only create an account and that is the only time we hear from them
    • i don't know whether this is really problematic, but it might bear a security risks and a ressource risk.
    • otoh, what makes "activity"? a login once a year? SubVersion activiy?
  • copyright problems of content published on this site:
    • what happens if people publish content that they must not
    • what happens if people publish their own content under a restrictive license?
    • ideally the entire content at puredata.info would be under a free license, with a default to some CC license but people are free to choose another free license.

why this sucks:

  • how "free" can a "terms of use" be?
  • quite bureaucratic, ain't it?
