I'd also like to see this guy axed, but I can see why they'd want to keep him. Perhaps he holds enough specific technical knowledge that they have to keep him.

What I'm unclear on is why Bernardo can't be invited back. Was his account deleted in such a way that it's unrecoverable? If so, they're keeping someone who deleted potentially months of a customer's work and data, and claiming it's within reason over one use of the f-bomb.

What if another client's Twitter account is hacked? This policy sounds like an open invite to malicious third parties.

Apparently so..


You're right, as I discovered on reading the cached Jules post:

> So let’s just recap a little; we have 1 account that is suspended with full access to a backup of their data and their domain names. We have another account that is fully terminated, with all data removed, due to severe breach of our terms.

The why seems to be swept under the rug in Doug's post.


Does this means that This* does not maintain offsite backup of their customer's data they are administrating?

Scary.
