What if I wanted to write a book, and some sneaky lawyer looks back at my history, and finds that Kiwike 'owns' some of the ideas? I have no doubt that Kiwike does not wish to profit from my writing, or anyone else's writing. My worry is in the wording.
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.
