A lot of Hubbers have objected to a very famous Hub on HubPages -
The Yahoo Mail Hub -
http://hubpages.com/hub/www_yahoomail_com
But my point is what TOS does it violates?
The author didn't claim he is an official representative/staff of Yahoo Mail. The hub simply describes Y Mail. If people are fool enough to assume that the hub is by Yahoo itself(!!!), it should not be the authour's responsibility.
It is deceptively titled, and a brief look at even a free link tool shows that it has been promoted via spam.
"The title, tags, and categorization of your Hub must accurately represent the contents of the Hub."
Look at the comments... how many of those people understand whose website they have gone to? When you type in www.domain.com into google, you expect to go to www.domain.com .
The Hubpages Terms of Service are entirely irrelevant to the perception of this site to:
a) surfers
and
b) Google

I'm relatively new to this site.I know most sites of its type do their best to be "Google friendly" which translates into "family friendly" (a phrase I hate, by the way). Over the years when tempted to use profanity either in a title or in the body of an article (and I can...

Can someone please explain this to me, as this hub was on HubPages for YEARS and saw a ton of traffic, but then I took it down... and only recently decided to bring it back, because I remember how helpful it was and how well it performed.The hub's purpose is to prove if Bodybuilding is really the...

I just wrote a hub on making money with HubPages but wanted to make sure it's ok before publishing. I know you are not supposed to mention what you are earning on HP, but is it ok to use titles like 'How To Earn $1000 per month on Hubpages', or 'How To Make $1 Million On Hubpages'? I don't...

My friend and fellow hubber found a hub that was very adult with nudity in it. I am just curious, I thought in the TOS that it said nudity was not allowed here at Hubpages.
