If you want to learn ways on how NOT to run your website, I suggest you check into Anywebcam.com. I was banned from there and I was a paid lifetime gold member ($99.00). The reason I was banned was because they intercepted and read an email that I sent another member who was asking for the name of another cam/chat site (jmeeting.com), and I sent him the link. They claimed I was actively promoting a cometiting site and luring members away, yet then they state that it's ok to mention the name of the site, you just can't tell people to go there. The real reason I was banned was because I spoke out on the message boards against the site capping members' broadcasts and using them on their feeder sites without their knowlege, and to get the TOU/TOS amended to reflect that private cams would be exempt from any use for any means by Anywebcam.
They claim to don't need to refund my money because I broke the rules of the TOU/TOS, which is a load of crap. This was the first time I had ever used the jmeeting word in any way on the site, so I wasn't actively promoting anything.
Here's a copy of the email I sent the other person......you make up your mind if I was spamming another site (and keep in mind this was a personal email from one person to another and was the first time I ever mentioned another site to anyone on Anywebcam.com):

David has a history of not paying affiliate members and of banning paid lifetime members using false allegations in order not to have to refund the fees that were paid by them.
