A hate group is an organized group or movement that advocates hate, hostility, or violence towards members of a race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or other designated sector of society, or that supports and publishes assertions and argumentation characteristic of hate groups without necessarily explicitly advocating such hate or violence that otherwise characterize hate groups.
"Warez" refers primarily to copyrighted works traded in violation of copyright law. The term generally refers to illegal releases by organized groups, as opposed to peer-to-peer file sharing between friends or large groups of people with similar interest using a darknet. It usually does not refer to commercial for-profit software counterfeiting. This term was initially coined by members of the various computer underground circles, but has since become commonplace among Internet users and the mass media.

3. Sites that deal with unlawful subject matters including text or images dealing with cruelty to animals or humans. We reserve the right to deem what is proper materials. [Explanation}What are anti-cruelty laws? Designed to protect animals as well as the rest of society from violence, anti-cruelty laws impose penalties on convicted offenders for committing cruel or neglectful actions toward animals and attempt to deter any form of violent behavior by humans. This site holds firm to the protection of animals and humans. http://www.americanhumane.org

6.-No site map. No journey. A good web site has a over all map of the site
 Copyright Statement Privacy Statement Update Statement with Date Mission Statement
7.- No copyright or privacy statement, update, or a Mission statement relating to what you are trying to share on your website? This does not have to be extreme just to the point. (Explanation) You must have all four statements on your site to continue your journey. If you life in the United StatesYou must also have the COPPA link from your site and information about the act. You must have a statement concerning the privacy of Children if your site is outside the United States about collecting information.
The Update statement on your site must have a date. We don't require you to list your updates but a good web master always wants to post the updates to a site.
8. Copyright infringements or stolen texts or graphics? Credits listed to the proper owner of materials with permission of use? Bandwidth theft or "hotlinking" [Explanation] is direct linking to a web site's files (images, video, etc.). An example would be using an <img> tag to display a JPEG image you found on someone else's web page so it will appear on your own site, eBay auction listing, weblog, forum message post, etc.
Bandwidth refers to the amount of data transferred from a web site to a user's computer. When you view a web page, you are using that site's bandwidth to display the files. Since web hosts charge based on the amount of data transferred, bandwidth is an issue. If a site is over its monthly bandwidth, it's billed for the extra data or taken offline.
 A simple analogy for bandwidth theft: Imagine a random stranger plugging into your electrical outlets, using your electricity without your consent, and you paying for it. [ With permission from the program or site like using translating or accessibility from the web site a return link we will accept.]
This is how you might display an image graphic file in the HTML on your own web page. In the light blue is the http of the image: <img src="image.jpg" height="350" width="200">This tag tells the site to request the file image.jpg on the same server as the rest of the files on the site. If you were to hotlink an image from an outside server, the HTML might look like this:
<img src="http://notmysite.com/image.jpg" height="350" width="200">This tag tells the site to request the image.jpg from a different server other than your own. Every time the page is loaded, the outside server has to use its bandwidth to display the image. Posting of pictures or graphics from another site without permission to do so is also stealing bandwidth and your journey will stop and you will be disquailified for a period of 1 year. (Exceptions: if you own several sites and link from each of them then you own them and that is not stealing, if you are given permission we must contact the site you are linking from. We find that sites that do have this have several of the src's that are hotlinking without permission and that is stealing. This program uses a hotlink tester
9.Multiple blank pages or 404 error Codes?
10. Having to download additional software to view your site? [Explanation] That we may also need additional software to view different kinds of materials posted on your web site (e.g. Acrobat Reader, PowerPoint, etc. icluding view streaming content, such as audio, video, animations, and media presentations).
11. Do not have a separate awards won page '[s] ? A good web site honors the programs that award their site.
12. -  Not having A way to contact the webmaster or owner from several places upon a site. Not just one contact page within a entire web site. [Explanation] E-mail address showing how to contact the web master or owner. Web master: shalomtoyou321@aol.com. A good web site always has a way for a visitor to contact them. We would prefer a means of contact on each page of the web site.
13.-Any Password protection or member only areas? Exceptions to this will only be if the evaluators feel that there is enough content on the site and judges are given passwords to enter the areas to review their contents. If we can not visit this area of your site then we consider it 'hidden' and your journey stops here.
14.- No applications will be accepted from free servers. Must have own registered domain URL? [Explanation] htt://mysite.bravehost.com The Domain Name System (DNS) helps users to find their way around the Internet. Every computer on the Internet has a unique address - just like a telephone number - which is a rather complicated string of numbers. It is called its "IP address" (IP stands for "Internet Protocol"). IP Addresses are hard to remember. The DNS makes using the Internet easier by allowing a familiar string of letters (the "domain name") to be used instead of the arcane IP address. URL simply means your address. http://--------------. It can be .com .net . org .us examples below.
15.-By Not including on your e-mail application the proper phrase asked for on your journey? This phrase is shown throughout our program and also in the relection time. It is a three word phrase.
Are you doing ok? If you are unsure or have a question mail me at shalomtoyou321@aol.com please put in the subject box the word Disqualification. If there is no problem Great continue to the remaining questions.
