All users - Please play by the rules (easy!):
Briefly: Stick to your 2,500-visitors-per-day limit (monitored with some leniency); make sure the thumbnail map is actually visible.
Less briefly:To maintain ClustrMaps as a free service, we politely request that users follow a very small number of 'good user etiquette' rules, which allow us to provide a good service to all users. These are specified more fully in the terms and conditions, but the key highlights are as shown below:
- Users with more than 2,500 hits per day should consider switching to ClustrMaps+ to avoid over-loading our server (we monitor the totals and are in fact fairly lenient in allowing a number of exceptions, as long as the service is not being abused). Beginning with ClustrMaps and then upgrading to ClustrMaps+ is a very sensible way to proceed.
- The ClustrMaps thumbnail map must be visible (i.e. at normal resolution, rather than reducing it to '1x1 pixel' or some similar trick) on the URL used to generate ClustrMaps. The HTML needed to display the map will be provided to you once you have registered.
Breaking of the rules, even in our lenient interpretation, will lower your 'karma' score, which can progressively lead to: a polite advisory email notification; appearance of a 'polite notification image' in place of the actual thumbnail map; suspension of the ClustrMap thumbnail and counter, or (eventually, and after a suitable warning) complete ban of access. We don't really want to 'police' the service, but on the other hand 'bad etiquette' can really mess up the service for a lot of users, so we try to keep an eye on things to help promote the well-being of all users.
