Background-running Programs:
We do not allow background-running programs. This includes any IRC related software such as bouncers and bots. In certain cases we may allow programs to run continually in the background, these are considered on a one to one basis and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.

Banned Scripts:
You are free to use any scripts you wish provided they do not affect the normal operations of the server and they are not mentioned specifically below. Scripts that are commonly known for causing server disruption include large cgi-based message forums, auctions, and banner exchanges.

Scripts we do not allow include:

- Chat servers/scripts of any kind are strictly prohibited.

You can use Formmail scripts but they must be up to date and not running with the filename "Formmail". Any files named "Formmail" will be deleted without notice.

A message is considered unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a newsgroup charter or if it is sent to a recipient who has not requested or invited the message. For purposes of this provision, merely making one's email address accessible to the public will not constitute a request or invitation to receive messages.

Harbor Host solely reserves the right to refuse or cancel service to known spammers. Lastly, Harbor Host reserves the right to determine what violates this policy.
