Why is killing accounts part of the way they do business in any way, EVER?
That's what destroys company reputation.
I may be wrong but my understanding is that the gold standard - Amazon Web Services - will only ever suspend your account until an issue is sorted out.
Whoever runs Digital Ocean needs to stand up and say very loud and clear to this community that they will never, ever delete accounts - if he doesn't then he can live with the business destroying reputation of Digital Ocean being "one of those account killing companies".
What company would ever host on "an account killer" - the risk is way too high.
- duskwuff 7y ago> Why is killing accounts part of the way they do business in any way, EVER? Because fraud and abuse exist. Sometimes customers really are doing malicious things which need to be stopped immediately, and the only thing that will make that happen is disabling their account. Trying to make accommodations for those users is a fast path to getting sued, getting blacklisted by mail providers, and/or losing your upstream connection entirely.
