This has nothing to do with anyone banned or anything, I just have a question. When someone gets banned on the forums what happens? Let me give you an example:

Lets say I report a thread and the rules state that you aren't allowed to do that. So I got banned. What happens with your forum time and all? Like if you're banned, does your time just keep going down?

Your 'time' on the forums is related to your Gold/VIP time, so yes, I suppose.

Your time doesn't stop on the forums, just like if the account gets banned on a PW, it doesn't stop.

How is that legal? Couldn't they get in trouble for that?

As far as GraalOnline are concerned, someone who has been banned has abused the service. If someone upgrades and is banned a day later, that is their own problem.

The responsibility of using upgrade time effectively is the user in question's responsibility only.

Agree, but reposting deleted threads is not in the terms of service.

Is following the forum rules in the TOS? I think so?

I don't think it is. Plus can they have something so blunt like that? Like by agreeing to this you have to follow all rules posted. Then in the rules it says "You must send me $20." That mean you have to send $20 or there is legal trouble?

Sometimes it helps to go back and go over the TOS agreement again, and/or the Graal Rules.
I have read them many times, mostly when I am asked a question related to them that I, as a Manager, needed to prove.

The forums are a part of Graal, so the TOS agreement includes the forums.
Therefore, the Graal rules in general, apply to the forums also, as well as the TOS agreement.
The forum rules are specifically for the forums, and must be followed.

Why must people be so confrontational over the stupidest things?

And there is that crazy 2nd TOS that you agreed to when you registered for the forums.

Chris is right.

It's debatable whether it would hold up in court or not..
During a project for my Law class, I broke down Graal's user agreement and terms of services. There are a lot loopholes, illegalities, ect.
It wouldn't hold up if it went to court.

And then we have the Playerworld Administration, who don't understand that we're paying customers and that they can't ban us for random rules they make up. We aren't bound to most of these so-called 'rules.'

I wasn't trying to be confrontational, I was just wondering. Sorry.
