About Us

WE ARE MOVING

2010-03-06T07:49:00Z

The team at THEFOOTY.com have made the decision to again pull up stumps and move hosts. Little web-sites get crap service, and again this has been the case from our host. They moved to new servers and have spent well over a month moving our site, and still have been unsuccessful.

We have made the decision to move our little site to a free service run by Blogger. We hope that this transition goes smoothly, but if our service is interrupted you can view our new site at :

http://thefootycom.blogspot.com/

OUR DOMAIN http://www.thefooty.net should already be pointing at our new site.

Being a small, independant hobby site without much revenue potential, has also seen the costs of hosting start to drain as the years have gone on. We enjoy sharing our thoughts with our small audience, and will continue to do so, but at a much reduced cost.

I hope that our loyal readers join us on our new site.

Cheers

Curly

SPAM Policy

2008-08-06T23:08:00Z

YOUR SPAM POLICY IS VERY CLEAR and takes into account our domains thefooty.com and thefooty.net. If you feel any member has breached the Spam policy, please contact webmaster@thefooty.com or webmaster@thefooty.net and immediate action will be taken.

Anti-Spam("unsolicited email") Policy:

Please read our Anti-Spam Policy carefully as we have zero tolerance towards such activities.

SPAM (unsolicited commercial e-mail) is defined as an email message that is sent anonymously and without the recipient's permission. However, there are many other forms of Internet communication that can be considered as spamming. For example, posting irrelevant, and often commercial, messages on newsgroups, usenet, message boards, chat sites, forums, etc. is considered to be Spam. Not only is Spam an irritating presence in everybody's mailbox but it clogs the Internet and has the potential to cause system outages if left unchecked.

Spam has become so rampant in our society that there is legislation in various stages of enactment that will prosecute individuals, companies, and webhosts, and ISPs who engage or allow their customers to engage in such activities.

From our standpoint, any member found to be Spamming by any of the methods described above will have their account terminated immediately, be denied access to their referrals and forfeit any claim to past, present and future earnings. Furthermore, we shall fully cooperate with any bona fide authority and investigation that may arise from such incident.

If you have been spammed by one of our members, please report it to webmaster@thefooty.com and immediate action will be taken. Please include the spam email, and also the member's id.
