Default quota for user pcplay exceeded

All CGI scripts are executed under the permissions of user pcplay. This user's quota has been exceeded. Now every time I try to write a file it results in 0 bytes!
Please raise the limit! I have only used 12 MB of my webspace and as far as I understand, this means that every user here will have trouble writing files with web scripts.

Can I make a suggestion?

Install the suExec Wrapper for apache. This will enable you to run CGI scripts and SSI under the user's id who owns the directory in which the script is run. This means that files written by those scripts will actually be added to the quota for that user and not to the pcplay user. More documentation:

It seems fine to me. What probably happened was somebody uploaded a bunch of warez for their friend then deleted it, or something similar.

I will look into this.

Sorry to bring this up again, but we're getting close again. Do you think you could free some more space for user pcplay?

Code:
Disk quotas for user pcplay (uid 32014): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace /dev/hda3 3374872 3379200 3379200 137830 0 0
