Will membership cost me anything?
Good you asked! While you were reading through the FAQ, I was thinking about how to gently teach you that membership won’t bankrupt you but, aside from the hassle of submitting an application by ticket and waiting for it to be approved, absolutely doesn’t cost a dime!Required reading
Member list update interval
In addition to the updates triggered by the membership application, member web pages will be reviewed at irregular intervals to keep data up-to-date.
The following information will be checked:
- transferred data volume when calling the domain (uncompressed)
- presence of JavaScript
If such a check reveals that JavaScript is being used in the meantime, the site operator is informed via a comment within the ticket issued by the website operator regarding admission to the no-JS Club and has eight calendar days from the date of sending to rectify this problem.
In case JavaScript continues to be used after this period, the corresponding domain will be banned from the member list and the website operator will be informed via comment in the above mentioned ticket; upon notification of the deletion, the right to use any of the badges will immediately expire.
Inadmissible contents
- pornography/sexism
- racism/nazism
- any kind of illegal material
Rights we reserve
- we reserve the right to reject any site that we deem inappropriate, even if it does not clearly comply with the above rules
- this right can also be claimed subsequently if the content develops in a direction that we consider inappropriate
Once a website has been banned from our member list, the website owner will be notified and the right to use our badges will expire
The aforementioned notification is made via a comment within the ticket issued by the website operator regarding admission to the no-JS Club; example ticket
If the website was migrated from the previous noJS club membership, notification via ticket is not possible. For this reason, the club member’s website is searched for an email address, if this does not lead to a positive result, the website is deleted WITHOUT prior notification.
