It’s like a TOS / rules when registering on a forum. I have yet to find an honest person who reads them.The biggest surprise to me is that people actually spend time reading licence agreements.
I read them. Surely it’s a good idea to know what you are agreeing to in a contract.The biggest surprise to me is that people actually spend time reading licence agreements.
I was being a little facetious. You do have a point but I think it rather depends somewhat on the nature of the contract.I read them. Surely it’s a good idea to know what you are agreeing to in a contract.
Almost as crazy as the terms written into the Disney+ streaming service: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr7r9djxj0doAt the risk of veering off topic (/sarcasm), when I bought a car in the US I was shocked that I had to sign documents waiving my right to sue the dealer.
Ditto for when we purchased our house.
As they say, only in America.
Cool. Apple doesn’t allow you to use iTunes or Apple Music to build a Nuclear Weapon: https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-no-itunes-for-nuclear-weapon-2013-10Almost as crazy as the terms written into the Disney+ streaming service: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr7r9djxj0do

@Paul B it’s unclear for me if we can build a nuclear weapon using XenForo. Please advise.
Following on from that, can we use XenForo to discuss the events of Fallout 3 wherein there is a nuclear device we can interact with?Cool. Apple doesn’t allow you to use iTunes or Apple Music to build a Nuclear Weapon: https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-no-itunes-for-nuclear-weapon-2013-10

I saw something on an Instagram reel (Idk if true or not) where the website owner forced everyone to retype the whole terms and conditions (it was displayed just had to type letter by letter over the greyed out version) in order to register.The biggest surprise to me is that people actually spend time reading licence agreements.
Make it a typing game, and some people would actually do it.I saw something on an Instagram reel (Idk if true or not) where the website owner forced everyone to retype the whole terms and conditions (it was displayed just had to type letter by letter over the greyed out version) in order to register.
Can you imagine?
What an unreasonable nightmare. I'd leave rather than go through that.I saw something on an Instagram reel (Idk if true or not) where the website owner forced everyone to retype the whole terms and conditions (it was displayed just had to type letter by letter over the greyed out version) in order to register.

What I find slightly ridiculous about rules, terms and even laws (and I know people disagree with this) is they really only exist to serve the rule makers not the end user.I saw something on an Instagram reel (Idk if true or not) where the website owner forced everyone to retype the whole terms and conditions (it was displayed just had to type letter by letter over the greyed out version) in order to register.

7-8 pages?! Link please? Asking for a friend.What I find slightly ridiculous about rules, terms and even laws (and I know people disagree with this) is they really only exist to serve the rule makers not the end user.
The majority of people know what's acceptable behavour in any walk of life. Whether or not they choose to abide by that is another matter of course. Rules don't generally stop people behaving badly but they have a practical application when they do.
I manage a long standing forum which I'm not going to link of obvious reasons that offers a £50 Amazon gift token in the terms and conditions to anyone who claims it. No one ever has. I did it to demonstrate to the rest of the staff members that the T&Cs created by the previous head admin were over verbose (7-8 pages), dictatorial and would never be read by anyone. To be honest I completely forgot about it until I read your post!
If they were reasonable for the forum, say made for adults only, I wouldn't mind putting a box like that where they type in something like:Can you imagine?

That reminds me, it's been quite a long time since I've gotten angry emails from "soccer moms" accusing me of being racist because a certain racist website (which I won't name) at one point was running one of my vBulletin products.If I had to guess, this is lawyer speak for “covering XF’s ass against people who don’t understand that just because a site runs XF, XF is not responsible for its content” as well as PR coverage against cases like KiwiFarms that used to have an XF licence but was terminated by XF.
None. We live in a modern, understanding society. People know that just because you drive a Tesla or fly in a Boeing that the tragedies that occur from misuse of those vehicles are not the responsibility of Tesla or Boeing.I wonder how many such emails the XF devs receive.
