Thank you for your response,
Primarily, this request relates to most of (if not all of) content in the following section:
CLUBUL LABAGIILOR • Vizualizare forum - Cereri / Requests
onanisti.ro
favicon.gif
(Cereri / Requests)
While the term “requests” does not constitute any offence and can be presumed entirely innocent, the actual use of that section is clearly to identify, locate and/or expose individuals and their personal information in addition to share and distribute sensitive, intimate or personal content without the creator’s consent or knowledge.
From the top few posts on the forum page you can see the attached images:

These images were collected after spending just 5 minutes on the website.
In Romania, sharing identifiable information related to personal and intimate images without someone's knowledge and consent can be considered a violation of privacy and will be subject to legal action. This type of behavior is typically categorized as revenge porn and is punishable by law.
The act of sharing such images or videos without the explicit consent of the person depicted is punishable under Article 226 of the Romanian Criminal Code, which criminalizes the unauthorized distribution of intimate images or videos.
In addition, the forum itself is concentrated around the sharing of copyrighted material, and whilst this is not our primary concern, this should be a concern of your hosting company, especially now that you have been notified of the activity.
Hosterion’s Terms of Service, specifies very clearly:
> It is forbidden to host illegal material. These include, but are not limited to:
>
> software pirated or any material that infringes copyright
> unlicensed MP3s
> books or other texts in electronic format that infringes copyright
> sending spam (unsolicited commercial emails). Any customer who wants to send newsletters (or in general a large number of emails) must have built the database by subscribing with confirmation (confirmed opt-in) and have Hosterion's approval to send these emails.
Taking this into consideration, you should also be aware, that the forum actively promotes and allows for the sharing of contacts and facilitation of “escort” services listed here:

Prostitution in Romania is illegal and is considered a criminal offense under the Romanian Penal Code. Specifically, the following acts listed and accessible via the website are related to prostitution and are punishable by law:
- Offering or providing sexual services in exchange for payment or any other form of compensation (Article 210 of the Romanian Penal Code).
- Soliciting, inducing or facilitating prostitution (Article 211 of the Romanian Penal Code).
We could continue to share information, however, it is clear that this website is being used to conduct various illegal activities and clearly in some cases, without the knowledge of the individual being targeted. As already outlined in the original notification, this has also resulted in multiple violations of individual’s privacy and invasions into their personal lives, including anonymous / fake profiles threatening, blackmailing and harassing some of the victims posted on the website.
Please also understand that there are over 1,400 “topics” related to the request and sharing of media in the requests section alone and that it’s frequented daily by 100’s if not 1000’s of visitors. In addition, the administrator of the website actively removed a profile created by ourselves to warn of the actions being conducted on the forum and the potential legal implications.
This clearly demonstrates that the website owner or forum administrator is aware of the activities on the website and the legal implications but has continued to support the activity.
Furthermore, the domain name “onanisti” translates to “wanker” and represents obscene / pornagraphic words, which also violates multiple terms of your service, namely:
- domain names of bad taste;
- names incorporating foul languages;
- names that are injurious to public order or to public sensibilities;
- domain names with offending character;
- domain names with obscene or pornographic words;
We trust that this information, have provided you with enough reasons to take action to remove or suspend this website in a timely fashion in order to ensure good-standing, reputation protection and to prevent escalation of this matter.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reply.
