23-24 are disclaimer statements.ManlyBacker link said:Unfortunately Jerry MWSE have written the terms of membership the way banks do - i.e. T&Cs and entitlements can be amended in any way and at any time.
\"23. Membership Benefits - The Sea Eagles reserve the right to add, change or delete benefits from any membership category offered in the 2010 season without prior warning.
24. Membership Terms and Conditions - The Sea Eagles reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time.\"
To my mind, and the reason I never posted there, is that it is (and can reasonably expected to be) a highly moderated forum.
Just because it was added as a membership benefit and some folks felt that this could be seen to have a dollar value attached to it, then they were then entitled to say whatever they wanted. Um, no, they had clearly defined rules on what was acceptable and were within their rights to moderate, ban or cancel the forum if they wanted.
Personally I am disappointed for all the people who enjoyed that forum and it is gone. Not everyone would be aware but that forum had a long history of heavy moderation and was a sugar coated environment for those who like that. I doubt that it was or could ever be anything more than that.
These are not legally binding as you have statutory rights. They are put there to dissuade the average joe who knows little about the law.
Do a search on Wiki & you'll get a better understanding.
You can't write a contract where one side doesn't have rights.
You have them whether they are stated or not.
