Is being a Hippypay affliate a violation of the ToS? Is it a per se violation of the ToS to wear a Hippiepay vending machine in a public place? Is it considered a violation of the ToS requiring suspension of an account for a resident, who is ejected from a property for wearing a hippiepay machine (but not otherwise soliciting use of Hippiepay), to complain about being ejected without warning for wearing a Hippiepay machine while no longer on the property he or she is ejected from?

How does an administrator, who recieves a complaint from one aggreived resident that another resident is 'soliciting' or hassing another resident, draw the line between what is advertising and what is abusive solicitation or harrassement? Are there guidelines or factors that Administrators must consider, such as who owns the property where the alleged solicitation/harrassement takes place, what types of graphics or chatted words constitute solicitation/harrassment, or, is it completely arbitrary soley up to the discretion of the administrator who recieves the complaint? Are the administrator's guidelines or policies for determining whether conduct deserves a warning, suspension, or termination available for inspection by residents, or, are we limited just to hoping that our interpretations of the ToS coincide with the administrators?

If there are additional policies or guidelines for determining abusive/harrassing behavior, are their procedures in place to ensure that Administrators have the correct facts prior to taking disciplinary action?
