How many of you have read GGG's terms of service?

Spoiler
In today's age before purchasing a product from a company or financially supporting it most skip reading the terms of service (policy), and often because they expect the typical policy that they're already familiar with. Spending money means you're supporting that company vision, and voting for more of that to come in the foreseeable future, and not just this company and industry, but our whole society pretty much preys on keeping you as much ignorant (uneducated), because that's how its easiest to manipulate you, to "milk" you, to keep you in the dark, and finally when you realize what you've been supporting only to find out you can't do much, because you haven't READ or should I say known what/who you've been supporting. Here I can't even discuss about government policy, but there is a good reason why developed countries have a strong resentment toward censorship, certain policies and religion. I've already discussed about censorship in the past, but the difference now is because terms of policies and which ones we support impact us all, and the longer most terms of policies are the bigger the red flag should be. Companies purposely want to make their terms of policy long, so the average person doesn't have the patience or interest, or it's simply lazy enough to spend time reading through walls upon walls of text. Now, take a look at GGG's policy when it comes to posting, which is communication. To translate what that means "the company is for (PRO) full censorship".

Most don't know who and how they censor them, but I'll give you an idea. Given the information I've been sharing with this community over the years the mods have a special "alert" level when a thread comes from me, and literally within 1-2 minutes they are acting upon it. How do I know? Because my threads have been moved quickly to the "feedback" section, even if 90-95% of the information I'm sharing is for the community, and not toward the GGG staff, like my last thread from days ago. When I contacted GGG support after that mod wasn't responding, they were the ones who forwarded me to section 10.e. Further, they have a problem, as in also do not allow publicly sharing with the community their conversation (discussion) otherwise I would've gladly showed you my emails. Finally, I would rather kill myself than support anyone who's for FULL censorship, because that's how you suppress progress, rights, etc. and these forums are a disguise, a fasade, where the community can think (believe) this company allows the community to speak, or should I say voice their opinions, but their policy says otherwise. What you're reading on these forums it's only what GGG mods have allowed. Last edited by Kopogero#0635 on Aug 12, 2021, 2:31:31 AM Last bumped on Aug 14, 2021, 2:48:23 PM

Sounds like someone takes the forums a little too serious

Its their forum, i'd write the same if I operated one sometimes you just gotta take out the trash.

Also the mtx you bought isn't yours, in case you missed that.

This place wouldn't function at all without that. The real reason you're upset is that you think you should be in charge and you're not.

" Would it not? I wouldn't be so sure. The subreddit shapes its rules in regular consultation with the community, and it's more successful than this space. So much so that even GGG pays more attention to it than their own forums, shaped by the rules they themselves chose for it. |

That is why we use Reddit instead, lol.

You do know they have the right to do so. It's their forums, their company, their game. They reserve the right to limit and censor content and speech as they please, especially because if they want to operate freely within their own jurisdiction, they must abide by the laws that govern them as a New Zealand based company. If you know anything about NZ ruling, certain laws related to defamation in particular are taken very seriously. If the company doesn't crack down on certain bits of "free speech" as it were, they will be subject to government action. Just because you don't like that they have freedom to monitor and edit posts and comments as they please, doesn't mean they're an evil company for doing so. They aren't based in the United States where "free speech," (which BTW is very seriously misunderstood in our country), is a lot more free than it is there. They have laws they must abide by as well, which every player who plays PoE and interacts with the forums must abide by too so long as they're interacting within those outlets

" So? It's their forum. If they want to only allow threads about coffee cups they have every right to do just that. Nothing is stopping you from making your own forum with your own ruleset. Last edited by Gulch#5697 on Aug 10, 2021, 11:12:00 AM
