I'm asking cause my previous post regarding my server that isn't at home got moderated for violating rule 3. I don't get it 🤔

Your post was removed because it wasn’t about any self-hosted applications, services, or infrastructure. Instead, you were complaining about the customer support of a VPS provider.

A case could be made that Rule 7 should have been cited, instead of Rule 3.

Alright, I guess I should have rather made a post like PSA: beware of Netcup, they shut you down on suspicion of doing stuff against their ToS whether it's actually the case or not and without giving you a warning to respond.

meh...I wouldn't get too crunk about it. If you're here for any length of time, you're bound to have a few mod deleted posts.

i donno i think you're self hosting if you're the admin

Woah TIL that because I'm admin, I'm self hosting an entire enterprise of nearly 50,000 users.

If OP was self-hosting they wouldn't have had a problem with their hosting provider.
