When users exceed their disk storage allocation, they are notified. Some systems notify users by electronic mail or direct message. If the storage allocation is exceeded for an extended period, the user account may automatically be disabled. Computer files not related to official missions of the University and which consume large amounts of space may be removed without warning by system administrators in those cases where they impact system operation. Posting to an Internet discussion group or displaying personal web pages are a form of publication and because electronic publications can be created so easily, the checks and balances that help produce responsibility in print media may not operate until it is too late.
Users are responsible for the content and the consequences of their electronic publications.
What is acceptable may also depend on your intended audience, or whether your publication can be accessed by minors. Because anything you place on the Internet from UL Lafayette can easily be determined to have originated on a computer connected to the UL Lafayette network, some of your readers may assume that your publication is somehow sponsored by the University. Unless you have such authority, you should include a disclaimer on your publication. Do not use official UL Lafayette logos or seals unless you are specifically authorized to do so. If you expect to publish something that will attract a great deal of attention from other people on the Internet, you should discuss it with your system administrator first.
