Reply to YouTube’s non-existent customer service. in Websites Stardock Forums

When you offer a service for people to use, either free or not, you are setting up a set of guidelines that people are expected to abide by in order to use your service. Free or not. And with that comes the expectation of people who use your service that it will perform as you have said it would.
