-Other Misc "Rules":
-#
The [WLUG] committee reserve the right to terminate your account for any reason what so ever, including, no reason at all. (hmm
, guilty even if proven innocent? --KyleCarter, Sometimes you find someone who abuses
the services who isn't actually breaking
the rules, and you can't remove them easily, also we may wish to deny new accounts since the machine is overloaded and people can use another one or similar, or just remove accounts from people who don't use them to free resources so others can
. -- PerryLorier
)
-#
Accounts are for [WLUG] members only. Accounts are only for the user they were assigned to, giving
access to other people is prohibited. If other users are found using your account __your account will be terminated__ and you will be held responsible for their actions. ''(-- CraigBox)''

the buck stops at
the committee with issues regarding this server
.)

-!! Discussions
-----
-!On Point 1
-This discussion related to the original first point. I have now updated it to clear up confusion. I see CraigBox has also added another point under Misc Rules that makes the original intention quite clear. Discussion below preserved for posterity.
-
-(Does this mean that I can't use the WLUG Community Server if I go overseas? --MattBrown)
-
-''The implication in that clause is that you can't give access to this account to your mate from {Thai, Fin, Ice, Ire, Green, Po, Swazi, Switzer, Deutsch}-land. The only person who is allowed to access the account is you, and if you're here, and you log in from overseas, chances are it's not you. So in your case Matt you'd be fine.''
-
-(I assume we're worried about international bandwidth? Otherwise, if someone paid to be a member then they should be allowed to access the machine. --MatthiasDallmeier)
-
-''At this point I'd like to clarify a point here: you are not buying access to this machine, you are donating a subscription to the WLUG, and one of the benefits is limited access to this machine that can be removed at any time. We don't want people to sue if they're kicked off and say "But, but, I _paid_ for access to that box.''
-
-No, the above was taken from other AUPs on other sites. I dont think Net4U's traffic model differentiates between national and international traffic. However, this issue is up to Net4U. Comments from Net4U? With respect to the actual point above, its probably best to remove the second part of that clause, its unneeded. --DanielLawson
-
-I earlier added Shell access only, because once the wiki is there anyone reading without being a wlug member would be in breach of this policy (www access)
