Participating in Foruns

[peddyvirtual]

The participation in the foruns is a bit "messy". I never know what to write and prefer to just read . But my account gets always suspended because i don't participate in the foruns... Kind of a nasty cycle

Posting is not required, ever.

You don't have to write anything. As long as you log on here every once and again. You don't even have to read if you don't want to. Just the simple log in.

*didn't see your post corey

If I may explain away the confusion here peddyvirtual...

As Corey and Denzil say, you never have to participate in the forum or write anything. All you need do is log into the forum every month or so with your x10 account. If you don't, the system will automatically suspend you, as I found out the hard way. Unsuspending is easy as you are probably already aware though.

Honestly Corey, this should be made more obvious to subscribed members, as I myself was caught off-guard in the beginning; thinking it was my account that I was required to regularly log in to. Now I'm stuck with "Unsuspended" in the status area of my account instead of the original "Active". Will it ever revert back?

It is made very obvious as it can be, in my opinion.

1. It's described in detail in the TOS that is agreed to upon sign-up.

2. There are faqs about it located in the free hosting support forum and the Useful Information forum.

3. It also says it specifically and precisely in the suspension reason should the inactivity suspension happen. But it still gets past people that don't stop to read that suspension reason carefully because there have been lots and lots of users that had claimed that the suspension reason said to login frequently to their account panels or cPanels. That was never true. The suspension reason specifically says to login to the forum.

I should say it would be probably annoying to others that just never think to look up information and faqs about their account.

Is it really affecting anything in your account for it to say Unsuspended? My status also says Unsuspended and it affects nothing in my active account. I've never had any suspensions either.

All you need do is log into the forum every month or so with your x10 account.

It is NOT "every month or so"

It IS
==>
from - FREE HOSTING TERMS OF SERVICE (TOS)

Inactivity You are required to visit the forums at least once every 31 days to keep your account
active, no posting is ever required.

<==

you MUST log-in to http://x10hosting.com/forums/ with NO MORE THAN 31 days between log-ins
this is NOT once a month - log-in on 08/01/2011 and 09/15/2011 would be 45 days between log-ins

======================================

When you fill-out the form for your new account at x10Hosting
you are REQUIRED to read the TOS and you are REQUIRED to show you have done so by checkmark

you did not read the TOS

BTW unlikely Corey will ever see your post

Logging into the forums doesn't automatically unsuspend you. You still have to login to your account panel afterwards, view your suspensions and click the link to unsuspend yourself, just as your suspension reason specifically said to do.

I will take off the suspension for you. Just for future note, when you are suspended due to inactivity you need to remove the suspension yourself at http://x10hosting.com/control (The x10Hosting Hosting Account Panel). There will be an option in there to remove the inactivity suspension.
