Generally requests involving data which is in error or we would normally 
remove even without a complaint if we became aware of it.

We have had a total of zero court orders and one valid DMCA takedown 
request. The takedown request was from a private individual, the data in 
question was removed, and the user who added the data admitted copying 
from the source who sent the request. This was back in 2013, so I don't 
remember much more without doing research.

What we get tends to be in the nature of complaints, not takedown 
requests, and we're capable of resolving everything without needing to 
involve a formal takedown request. These are also not handled by the 
board, but part of the scope of the DWG.
