Licensed member not allowed to use vb.org?

[TECK]

After reading the Site Feedback principles, there is nowhere stated when a licensed member loses his rights to have full access to vb.org forums.
I would like to know what are your elimination criterias. Examples are important in this discussion.

Thanks.

In general you will loose your licensed status when you do not have a valid license anymore.

What if you are still licensed? Under what conditions the vBulletin.org staff will revoke your rights to have full access to the site?

Thanks.

Blocking someones licensed access to vbulletin.org can be seen as an alternative to banning. It is only used in exceptional cases.

I can not discuss individual cases.

being licensed or having access to this site is not a right, but a privilege... if you break the rule, you loose access... that's all...
(and some guys broke the rules more than once, so they loose that privilege, and this is not a public topic.)

I can not discuss individual cases.
That is fine Marco, I'm not interested on individual cases, we engaged this discussion with general terms.

being licensed or having access to this site is not a right, but a privilege.
nexialys, please let me know where you saw your affirmation written?
From my understanding, when I purchase a vBulletin license, I'm entitled to gain full access to this site.

vBulletin staff, is this true? You give me the "privilege" to read threads and access hacks on this site?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Nexialys is correct on this.

The license you purchase does not include the right (as oposed to privilege) to access any of our forums, this includes vb.com and vb.org forums.

The license give you the right to use vBulletin and to have access to the Support Ticket system, that is all.

Thanks for the info, Marco.

When i paid my first license, it was not written anywhere that i had the legal access to any forum... THIS is a statement... it was not written anywhere that i had access to this or that forum or website... just access to the software download for the period i paid for...

access to vB.org was given as a privilege because i paid for the license; as a bonus... that's the same as my user level... i'm not considered a coder anymore, but i continue to have access to the coder's forum until i say too much stupidities.. this is a privilege i can see revoqued...

and i hope this will continue that way... ;)

Indeed, it's understood that access here is a privilege, not a right, just like any place. Be respectable, and don't act like an ass, then wonder why your privileges were revoked...that's just foolishness.:D

I dont feel privledge to be here,because i paid to purchase vbull because its the best on the market at the moment and its seems useless having a vbull board if u cant modify it with custom hacks etc.
Lets face it the default vbull when 1st installed is actually aweful to look at,So members need somewhere to get hacks and styles and if there was nowhere to grab them from then i bet sales of vbull would fall.They both go together,All part of the same package.

I am assuming this was brought up due to the recent thread from extremetim?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

I don't know what triggered this thread and the questions in it.

But since the questions have been answered and i don't see this going anywhere usefull anymore, i am now closing this thread.
