Every once in a while, we have to remove a user from dotblu, either temporarily or permanently, for breaking the rules consistently on the site. It's not something we like to do, and we try to avoid it any way we can, but sometimes it's very necessary. Most situations when we remove a user are unique, and all are for a very good reason, however we can't ever disclose the details of why a particular user may be removed due to our privacy policies.
We understand that this can be frustrating for some who know the user that has been removed who are looking for an explanation. Many times the reasons might not be obvious, or won't be visible on the site at all. To those we can only say that we understand your frustration, and ask that you please understand that we do have a good reason for the removal, and that we did not make the decision to remove the user lightly.
There are a few things that will warrant immediate removal, of course, mainly posting pornography. However, for most violations of terms of service we will issue several warnings before removing the user, and they know very well what the consequences will be if they continue to break the rules.
And if someone is violating the terms of service, please use the abuse report buttons at the top of every profile, or contact us at violations@dotblu.com. We investigate every abuse report very carefully and take appropriate action, however we cannot disclose what that action may be due to privacy concerns.
Above all, please do not report or discuss violations publicly and instead report the abuse so that our administrators can examine it and make a decision. Often publicly discussing these issues can make things worse, not better.
For reference, here is a link to dotblu's terms of use.
As always, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, feel free to email us at feedback@dotblu.com or contact the House. Good luck!
