Please Read! Terms and Conditions Change

[Saera]

I modified them to make them more clear and understandable. Terms and conditions are usually a long text of bs that no one can be bothered to read. The reason for this change is that I feel like having users remove all of their contributions to the server lore is definitely something we do not want, since it can create big holes in the complete server lore.

Of course we don't want to claim that we have made everything on the site, we just want to avoid what I said above.

A lot of large websites have a similar tos, Facebook for example owns anything you upload to the site. It's really not a big deal.

Edit: here is that part of the Facebook tos

For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.

This is pretty much saying the exact same thing as the Kiwike ToS, except they have sneaky lawyers and we're just a bunch of teenagers running a Minecraft server. (Saera doesn't count)

If all you want is to leave posts the way they are, why not just claim that you have the right to return a post to its original, unaltered state, or to any states that have been editted? It serves the same purpose, and does not bring about the same complications.

Good point Cerce. Again, we won't be suing people for using their lore or characters somewhere else. Naam explained the situation well. We will discuss changing the wording of the ToS later today, as well as send notices to all forum members about the changes.

Thank you. I appreciate this. I know it seems like I'm attacking the server; but, in all honesty, I love Kiwike. I don't agree with everything that happens, but it doesn't change the fact that it is the home of some of my best experiences online. I just really don't want some wording to mess me up with any future plans, even if the wording was done with the best intent.

I believe the current rules should be upheld.

In addition I propose the addition of something along the lines of "The agreements stated above are subject to change," but yeah but not notifying the users of such changes does seem like a bit of an oversight. :/

Chill.

Excellent. Thank you, very, very much. I appreciate the time and work put into the server, and in solving this issue. The re-worded ToS will help all parties, hopefully.

Private message on the forums, might take a while for everyone to receive it. It's always on the register page if you wish to look at it.
