I made the registration agreement even longer!!! Still have to do the TOS.


Also these are legal. There might be some way to present the information in an easier to digest fashion, but all information must be present.

I know, can't you make the "TOS for regular folk"

The TOS and Registration Agreement on the whole have just technical stuff. Once we're settled we can have a very user friendly "Rules" post that acts as a quick reminder to what is officially posted in other places.


So yes.
