Policy notice for DocBox.galnet, posted 14.10.YC121
Dear Valued Users,
As always, thank you for choosing DocBox for your document-storing and -sharing needs.
We would like to take this time to remind you that DocBox documents are uploaded by other users, regular people just like you. With over 80 billion documents currently hosted by our service, it would be impossible for us to inspect and verify every single one of them. We don’t claim that everything available through us is legitimate or correct–as our Terms and Conditions make clear.
We’ve received several mails and forum posts about a number of documents that all appear to have unexpected contents. Each of the versions of ‘Pax e Kilizhi Do’, the recent doctrinal work by Empress Catiz I, that has been uploaded to DocBox results in an actual download of ‘The Test of Faith’, the manifesto by Samira Kernher and the Avetat Order.
We are responding to these apparent upload errors by notifying the uploaders and then banning them if they continue the behavior, again as explained in our ToS.
This problem is not unique to DocBox; other document-sharing sites have reported the same phenomenon.
While we are not here to make any sort of political or religious statement ourselves, we would like to extend our apologies for any confusion arising from this situation. We would also like to remind our esteemed users that we are not responsible for the further distribution of either text, whether online or in person.
We will note that the Kernher text, when shared under its actual name, has been one of our most popular Docs, especially when excluding slashfics. We’ve also been sent anecdotal stories about users getting the unexpected download, but enjoying the Kernher read and sharing it with acquaintances.
If you come across another Doc that has the wrong document inside, and would like to let us know, you are welcome to contact us. Remember, our job here is to keep our users happy!
All the best, and Doc On!,
The DocBox Team
