Network Abuse and Spam Policy

Along with access to various features and services, Vision Net (visn.net) membership includes the basic responsibility of being a good "netizen" and following the rules of the road, in this case, the Information Superhighway. Members are expected to exercise "netiquette" in order to maintain a safe and peaceful online environment.

In an effort to maintain this environment, visn.net maintains a zero-tolerance policy on network abuse and takes immediate action against anyone who abuses their account privileges at the expense and inconvenience of other users. You should be aware that should you intentionally violate our Network Abuse and Spamming Policy you will be subject to substantial fee's for service as well as damages incurred as a result. See the Vision Nets Acceptable Use Policy section 2.3.1.3 for details.

One of the most common forms of network abuse is "spamming," which can constitute many different activities. Every Internet user must understand that when sending email, the recipient must have already requested the material prior to the email being sent.

Some examples of what would be considered spamming include:
  Massive e-mail broadcasts to other Internet users that advertise a product or      service, especially those advertising illegal money-making schemes
  "Junk" e-mail
  Unsolicited e-mail
  E-mail sent out in bulk
  Excessive cross-posting in newsgroups

visn.net encourages its members to learn more about network abuse and the company's policies on the subject. Information on Vision Nets Internet Access Agreement, Acceptable Use Policy, Network Abuse and Spamming Policy, Free Web Space Terms and Conditions, Software L icense Agreement and other current Policies and Agreements are available on the Terms of Service page at www.visn.net

To learn more about network abuse, read The Net Abuse FAQ.

Newsgroups, also known as Usenet, are commonly targeted by spammers. To understand how newsgroups work, read the USENET FAQ's.

visn.net also provides assistance to members who have been victimized by spam. If you have received email spam or experienced newsgroup spamming and want to report it, send your complaint (including the message and its headers) to:
  spam@visn.net

In the event that you fall victim to network abuse, or any violation of visn.net policies, send your complaint to
