And no we do not check every single upload. That would not be reasonable.

Indeed pirates material is against our TOS. Technically adult content is not strictly forbidden, but would it become the policy of CarrotPay that adult material is not allowed, we would certainly comply.

We do NOT check every file. This particular set of files are not obvious cases of copyright infringement. First, they have reasonably obscure file names. Second, there are 3 parts. It is unreasonable to expect a host to inspect individual files and then combine!

They were online yesterday. We were informed and they were removed mere hours after being informed via this forum. They are NOT there now.
Sorry I read this and thought you did bill via Paypla.

Hello all,

How many people here have had their Paypal accounts limited, seemingly for no reason.

I recently had my Paypal account limited, supposedly for violating the AUP but I fail to see how. The business of which that Paypal account is setup for has been running for almost 10 years and is not in any way involved with illegal, or even questionable activity. (No it is not related to file hosting).

The E-Mail received simply said the account was permanently limited and did not say which term/policy was violated. Further more, the two 'related' transactions appear to be okay without so much as a charge back/dispute raised.

Given it is Sunday and out of office hours, I have not been able to contact them yet, but what can be done in such a situation? This happen to anyone else? Does anyone else really HATE paypal?
Did CarrotPay allow any of the things I mentioned? "pirated, porn, cp, illegal in any way"

Having it against your TOS. Means nothing, you should know that.

It's like someone selling a gun and saying "You should not use this to kill anyone."

Or like someone selling a computer and saying "You should not use this to pirate content."

Who is a child pornographer?
