I made an abuse report back in May, consisting of harassment, defamation, advertising without consent, and invasion of privacy (all things addressed in the SoulPancake Terms of Use*), and so far they have only addressed the advertising & invasion of privacy issues.
It was my interpretation of the ToU that held that the user I reported had violated (ii, iii) of the ToU’s User Content paragraph, because he acted in such a manner as to particularly defame and harass me. It was supposed to be an intellectual dispute that we had, but it was not. I would’ve been fine with ignoring him, but the discourse with him was too bad to let anything go; and according to the aforementioned part of the ToU, that is more than enough of a warrant to take more action than just removing links.
* This part of the ToU is what I kept citing to them:
“In connection with User Content, you further agree that you will not: (i) submit material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to post the material and to grant us and our Service Provider all of the license rights granted herein; (ii) publish falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage us or any third party; (iii) submit material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate; (iv) post advertisements or solicitations of business; or (v) impersonate another person.”
