The occasional game server probably wouldn't even be detected, but as far as pop/imap goes the Acceptable Use Policy cops are sticklers for the letter of the law.

My definition of "service" is defined as busy, anonymous public or organized

feel bad about running a game server on weekends, but running a DS 24/7
would break the spirit of the law.  Same would go for an e-mail server (for
example) -- I would feel okay forwarding my own DNS domain account and
running POP3/IMAP, but hosting a bunch of busy mailboxes would break the
spirit of the thing.

Is this how Shaw sees things too?

If it is suspected that someone with a residential or SOHO account (no servers allowed) is running a service then a port scan will be done. Usually high bandwidth usage is a clue.

Do they also do the odd port scan, or only if there is suspicious bandwidth

Nope, no port blocking. Except for a brief period when the blaster worm was out, port 135 was shut-off. (I'm a TSR there...)
