Disney Definition: Keeping toon online longer than 4 mins (without actually playing) that they give you before you go to sleep and log out.

I'm not so sure, they dont have the infrastructure in UK to go into it to far. We have different rules on data protection. And the euro server redirect probs makes monitoring harder.

This lack of infrastructure altho on the plus side allows us more freedom, on the down side the UK side gets less attention, and things dont get sorted as quick, just take the Vista situation, 10days or more and still we don't have proper launcher for uk Vista user to login normally.

It can't be that hard, if we have found our own simple solutions to the problem, but UK represents less than 25% of whole subs, and UK vista a lot less, so why bother.

Hmmm

So I reckon on this basis UK will never be monitored the same as US. If they start creating UK offices and call centres and Live chat like US, then we may have to start worrying

You're other points are very Valid, especially the banning.

Note: For those who are thinking of getting US account especially over Vista problems, if you do get banned, sounds like u need to call them after 72hours to reconnect (this i have read from a few sources now). Well theres no UK call centre, so you will have call USA, wait to get connected, all at inflated rates, and as Sally Sparkle Bunny has pointed out, they wont call you back if you're in the UK. Just something to think about.
