    Thumbs up Do you even know there are --Forum rules-- dude?

    LoL for the first time ever i just read the forum rules

    CLICK HERE

    And i thought "OMG i can't believe this a infraction too!"
    Now i understand how many infractions many of us have been commiting mostly unknowingly.

    I advice everyone to take a look at it.

    I thought they ask you to read the ToS when you create your account? Or, did you just hit "I agree"?

    Anyways, glad you understood some of the infractions! I got a new one to add to my collection and will <3 it forever!

    Oh, also, after a certain number of infractions - they can ban you without notice, so watch out!

    Well, I think most infraction can be avoided through good judgement alone.

    Yup, I even read my cellphone contract. I do not sign anything unknowingly.

    True, but you know what they say... "common sense isn't so common".

    Terms of service and Manuals are meant not to be read.
    The format, the longness, the boringness everything about a Tos or a manual seems to discourage you from reading them.


    Edit : nobody reads them Except Zeus.

    Knowledge is power, especially in any legally binding contracts. So, I like to know exactly what I am agreeing to before I hand over my money or decide to use their services. Trust me, it's worth the 10 minute read up as it can save you a headache and potentially wasted time later on.

    I should make a quote..."Read the ToS, spending 10 minutes or more can save you $1 or more in platinum spent!"

    I don't think i will waist my ten minutes reading a game Tos or manual if i could use that time to:
    - Take my dog out for a walk.
    - finish a match on fifa14.
    - Call my gf.
    - Look at the wall.
    LOL

    BUT if it is a contract that implicates money or my welfare then for sure i will read it.


    For the sake of people like me and ctf who just can't stand reading a tos or a manual i think more advertisement need to be made about the Tos and the forum rules so more players can lay a eye on them even though they take a lazy and distracted glance...

    If you post through the mobile format browser, it is not noticeable, but the Forum Rules on desktop or non-mobile format is cleared listed just below the SpaceTime Games logo in bold red. Also, in game, I think if you load up forums through the advertisement - it prompts you to the Terms of Service first.

    Cheers!

    Hehe, thanks!

    Also, that's your philosophy. I'm not saying it's wrong, but I am saying that even when the rules are well advertised, people will still come and claim that they didn't know what actions were and what actions were not allowed. Anything that states "rules", people shy away from unless they can get personal gain from reading them, like for example - a forums contest.

    How does it feel to get an infraction? Surprisingly, I never got one.

    I've gotten a whole collection of them, lol.


    My initial reaction to my first:

    1. Wow, I've been a bad boy! Believe it or not, I may have had a potty mouth to an unnamed employee of STG. Honestly, I was lucky to have gotten a mere infraction.
    2. Wow, that wasn't even right! *reads reason* No, I'm just angry that somebody gave me an infraction.
    3. Same reaction as #2.
    4. I matured about it and accepeted the punishment as well as watched my posts for a long time.
    5. Same as #4

    I am the type that have a hard time even reading the rules of any contest posted on the forum.

    I just scroll and read the parts in bold and red.

    If the contest has no fouls i could tell the OP or i don't like the prize i won't even read the parts in red and bold. XD

    I swear they try to discourage you from reading it so they have some reason to charge you a hidden fee. It's a huge wall of text that's more than 25 pages long.
