Author Topic: Sylvanor ID 118, 378, 775: mass key sharing, buying and reselling  (Read 18156 times)

it ain't worthy any amount of time

it's more empty than lucky star

It's more empty than my love life :(



So the usual punishment is a key revoke, correct?

most likely

i dont think buying and selling is the main issue here. or an issue at all. if people are dumb enough to spend 400 for a blockland key worth 10. their problem. i mean badspot did a bid before on an special id.

key sharing on the other hand was never approved by anyone. these keys are guaranteed to be done for after this drama

Re-selling keys is against the rules IIRC. Probably because I can sell my key to ten different people for ten dollars and make a hundred without any of them being able to do anything about it, as keys dont regenerate just because theyve changed hands.

i guess that makes sense. especially buying from the shadiest users on the forum.

Actually, it's not just against the rules, it's against the ToS.

I believe by nontransferable it means that you can't resell or re-distribute the software or a key. I may be wrong, however.

"Terms of service (also known as terms of use and terms and conditions, commonly abbreviated as ToS or TOS and TOU) are rules which one must agree to abide by in order to use a service"

I cant seem to find any reason for you to be that pedantic about me saying rules

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off that way. I was just pointing out that as proof if anyone needed it.

All the "proof" anyone needs is to download the blockland installer and run it. Literally the very first thing that pops up is a window telling you to agree to the EULA, which also says that your ability to use the game is non-transferable.

Lol everytime I have seen Sylvanor he has a different BLID

Im glad to have my ID has 40440

Sharing is against the TOS, but is selling? 

Also Sylvanor is a tool for impersonating Diggy.

Reselling a key to someone is the same thing as sharing. You both still have e key soo...
