What I have asked several times and no one seems to want to answer is why would you agree in the first place then now act shocked? I just can't get my hands around that because if I had questions about what that meant, I would have asked upon reading the TOS when registering
Maybe because the TOS is written in Legalise and there are quite a few members who English is not their first language and would have a hard time reading it. hell, my first language is english and I have a hard time reading it. (and I can read perfectly well.) add in the fact a lot of ppl just click through or if they don't understand something they don't ask because they feel asking makes them look foolish, etc. (My wife teaches ESL at University and often has to overcome a students pride in these areas.. trust me, its something that happens a lot)
also add in the fact the TOS is written for the laws of where Rendo is based. those laws do not always apply in other countries (yes I know it's stated that the laws of tennasee apply, but does everyone know this? no, it's in the TOS......) causing more confusion into the mix.
may I suggest you get someone to sit down and ethier make the TOS with a simpler language set or do a FAQ breaking down each section? that would help a lot of the ppl that are in the ESL situation (or like me, how find the TOS harder going than reading LOTR)
