The reSabi staff and authorities
The staff has the right to modify, move or delete content if they find it necessary, without asking the author, in order to comply with the terms of service and secure the normal functioning of the service. The main admin also has the right to mark a user as spammer, edit or delete their account without prior warning. If the issue is minor, the staff will normally contact the user and try to solve the issue. Please have in mind that the staff are only humans, and can be wrong.
Removed content
While some content might be removed due to a technical error, most of the removed content is due to spam or against these terms of service. If your groups, links, comments or forum posts are removed, the only way to retrieve them is to write them again. Off course, if they are deleted again for the same reason, you’ll be banned.
If a blog is suspended, you can contact us within one month from the suspension to open it again, and review it to remove all questionable content. When a month has passed and the blog isn’t claimed, it will be permanently deleted. If the blog is totally empty, it might be deleted without waiting a month for it.
Report abuse or misbehaving users
Underneath most of the content and the users’ profiles, there’s a flag button that lets you quickly mark a user or content for the staff to review. Abusing of this button can also lead to penalties. If there isn’t any button on the abusive content, please use the contact form, and be sure to provide us the exact url.

We’re all in this together. Try helping other users as much as you can, and ask for help whenever you need it. If you have any suggestions, critics, feedback, bugs, etc. tell us about it.
