Are there any scripts that you do not allow on your servers?
A lot of hosts disallow cgi forums because they are server intensive.

we allow cgi forums, but at a premium.

On the whole, we try to direct customers to the less intrusive php chat rooms/forums

We allow most scripts to be run. But if I see my system resources being eaten up.... I would definately contact that user and let them know whats going on, maybe give them a few options for expanding their account or maybe switching sfotware that uses less resources.

We allow just about anything, as long as you are not killing the server with a massive load.

we do not allow any form of Matt's Formmail script (formmail.pl, formmail.cgi, etc) that can be used as a tool for outside spammers to spam email. Customers are aware of this and any scripts that are found (locate formmail* is cronjob weekly) are deleted without warning...

Even though I think it is like putting a leash on it is indeed a very good policy.

ive had over 800 emails in outgoing queue from matt's formmail in some servers. After I put the policy in affect, it stopped 100%. There are also more efficient scripts out there that do not show your password and cannot be spammed from. I provide users with links to very easy to setup scripts. Hardly a leash since you still have over 300 options.
