Enforcement
We may remove or disable content, pause sites, cancel jobs, restrict features, or suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules, with or without notice where the abuse is severe or ongoing. Hosted sites that receive several independent reports are paused automatically until an administrator reviews them. Where appropriate we tell you what happened and how to appeal.
