"Do not make posts about how you are going to kill yourself.  Just do it."
heh, I forgot about that




It's also in the terms and conditions if i recall correctly.

Well,

If they are deactivated, they are deactivated.
It's honestly no big deal. I couldn't find the T&C, but I already brought out what the Forum Rules mention on Page 6.

Now,

I read through the entire T&C thoroughly and highlighted three main points brought out.
What rule am I breaking again? I see nothing in regards to "Key Sharing".

I dont see anything on key sharing in there.


I dont see anything on key sharing in there.

My point exact.

Badspot revokes keys that are shared all the time. It's one of those unwritten rules nobody really knows unless they're pretty active on the forums. Sort through some dramas and you'll find plenty of situations like this ultimately ending in revoked keys.
I'm surprised it's not written anywhere at this point. I assumed it would be in the terms and conditions at least.

We are required to read the Forum Rules and agree to the T&C before joining the forums and or purchasing/playing of this game.

In my opinion,
Badspot should include Key Sharing in the Forum Rules.
If there are rules that aren't mentioned along with the ones that are mentioned and there are players unaware to these rule(s), it is only fair to include them or have them written as well.

It's the same as picking an apple from an apple tree, cutting it in half, eating one half, and giving the other to someone else.
Let's say a farmer has a set of rules that must be followed in order to eat from his tree, and a T&C in regards to his tree and eating from it. But the farmer does not have any written rule in regards to sharing apples with individuals. Because a person shares a half of his apple with someone else, the farmer confiscates that persons half and has that person arrested?

Doesn't seem fair right?

The same concept applies to other social networks/etc.

Even purchasing Video Games (CD's for specific consoles) from stores can be applied with this concept.

I could pay $60.00 for a Call of Duty game from GameStop. Will they penalize me for sharing the disc with a friend? People all across the U.S. and where else share video games with eachother.

Even Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare has a Key System. The same concept can be applied there as well.

No pun intended,
But I thought it was "Sharing is caring", not "Sharing will penalize you!".

Like Steam, they mention "Do not share your password with anyone!"
But they don't penalize you if you do, it's your choice.

Again,
It's honestly no big deal. If Badspot revokes them, he revokes them. He created Blockland, the forums, etc. It's his given right.
There honestly nothing furthermore to be said. If it happens, it happens.

I also have a question. If a key is revoked, does the name get revoked also, or does the name never get used again, because it is linked to the revoked key.

I'm assuming just the key itself.
If that is the case, you can take my name if something like that were to happen.
But I doubt that it would involve the name as well. It's just a name.

Actually after reading the terms and conditions again it states "Blockland LLC grants you the nontransferable, nonexclusive right to use the software..." By nontransferable I assume that it's referring to keys.

The name will be safe as long as someone is holding it btw

Well yeah,

Even though I am not sure, I'll assume that's what it means as well.
Like I mentioned, DragonoidSlayer can just use my name if/when that is to happen.
