Interesting... I know that some religious based ISP's have strict guidelines, but earthlink? 

Although earthlink was used in the widely popular "Carnivore" project.  Basically Carnivore was a hardware based setup that monitored all ISP activity.  Read about it here - http://zdnet.com.com/2100-11-522208.html?legacy=zdnn

In this article earthlink says that they haven't installed it but with the right amount of "financial pressure" I'm sure they hooked it up in a few spots :smile:

Do a search for "Carnivore" and "FBI" and you'll get tons of links.

If this is true, it definitely reinforces the idea that we need to be careful.

After reading through the thread, I have a 50/50 opinion.  That email looks somewhat fake. 

Regardless, you should be careful :wink:

The user is the ISP's bitch, pretty much, if you break their terms of usage, they can cancel you at any time. Priviledges and rights. Likely that someone had a disagreement with the bloke, decided to whinge to Earthlink etc.

Repeating: Your ISP is a business, not a public service.

Here I could get cancelled and prosecuted for downloading porn or communist writings, for example, but this is a fascistoid third world country.

i worked for earthlink, and yes, they do use carnivore. some people are confused as to what carnivore is though. they seem to be under the impression that it is an always on system which spys on everyone. the truth is that carnivore systems must be set to spy on a given individual. the average person will probably never have data pass through a carnivore system.

as far as someone losing their account just for posting something on a weed related site.. give me a quarter because i'm calling bullshit. i honestly doubt that sky and the rest of the scientologists over at earthlink care too much where you're posting. as long as you aren't talking shit on l. ron hubbard or the church of scientology, i don't believe they would terminate your account.

i am of the opinion that someone complained about this user and that's why they lost their account. fuck, i visited the shroomery from work a couple times and nobody ever said anything. even the lan nazis didn't seem to mind.

Lan nazi :smile:  hahaha

Yeah, I'm thinking the same as DoseR.  Its possible that someone was upset with the user and somehow got him/her booted.  But I don't think they got kicked off for posting on what they would consider "an illegal website".

Last I heard, people in the US still had freedom of expression :smile:

** "..the government doesn't have the time nor the money to bust small time cultivators..." **

This is true, of course. But, the Gov does all sorts of things it doesn't have the time or money to do. Think about it.
