How to properly report an site violating TOS

I found a web site that is in violation of the free host's Terms of Service. It is a message board containing hacking/cracking posts, it is nothing like this site, where script kiddies sign up and get banned. This particular site is a script kiddie haven. It is littered with posts and replys on how to hack hotmail excetra. I will not post the link for obvious reasons.

I have visited the main page where you sign up for the service. They no longer offer free hosting, however in their contact section i found this:

I am going to email the webmaster to report the site in violation, however I do not know how to properly word it. I had reported a cracking/warez site before but was unsucessful and I would asume it is my wording, or them not takeing me seriously.

How would I word such a complaint/report? I.E. what subject do I use, excetra

Can someone please give me advice.

why don't u mail the webmaster asking him if there's any e-form to be used.
or if there's a special format for the report.....
i don't know , but it sounds a bit stupaid, if they need a report for somthing , then just let it be ... why there should be anything special about it !!!!

Well one of the best ways to word things is to read their TOS and then inform them of the TOS paragraph number then a direct quote from the site. Be very specific, if you just say they are not living up to the TOS will do little good. I would also use your real email address, complaints from hotmail, yahoo accounts my not be viewed as being a ligit complaint.

thank you, I have sent the report, which I hope was worded ok. I never before thought of includeing the part of the TOS into the email but I thank you for that idea. I will work on my writeing skills. I think I need to spell check more often when sending formal reports and/or complaints to organizations.

Two weeks ago I reported someone when Snort detected a port scan, and viewing my Firewall loggs confirmed the scan. I found a site that explained how to properly report such an event. I guess I started takeing on a more mature, profesional aproach since I started hosting my own site, as security is more of a concern for me now and has made me more aware.

Thank you everyone.
