@goku_727 Might be, just add what is missing
barty06/27/2020
Right but why is my buyer email being subscribed without my consent
goku_72706/27/2020
ok
lackoSK06/27/2020
Right but why is my buyer email being subscribed without my consent
@barty Please read TOS
barty06/27/2020
That’s sketchy as hell, please do better

@barty What do you mean by that, please explain futher
relavis06/27/2020
@barty That’s literally why the plugins say “read everything before purchasing”... you are expected to read the terms of service before purchasing
Leonhard06/27/2020
:ok_hand:
barty06/27/2020
Yeah that totally makes it okay to do
relavis06/27/2020
Yes, you agreed to the terms of service, therefore it is okay
barty06/27/2020
I purchased chatcontrol, not mine academy or other plugins you’re trying to shovel into my face
Leonhard06/27/2020
Also you can subscribe at anytime?
relavis06/27/2020
You can unsubscribe at any time, exactly
Leonhard06/27/2020
I really don't get your issue, honestly
barty06/27/2020
There’s no option to purchase without being automatically subscribed, which is what is scummy. Notice how everyone company you’ve ever bought anything from gives you the option at checkout. I have unsubscribed now. Hope I don’t get randomly resubscribed as kangarko has been accused of doing many times.
relavis06/27/2020
:thumbsup_tone1:
Never seen Amazon ask me to subscribe tbh and I’ve gotten promotional emails from them
Leonhard06/27/2020
True

@barty No its not scummy. Its in the TOS. If you don't agree, don't buy. Period
barty06/27/2020
Right but you have an account at Amazon. I do not have an account with this company, I was subscribed because PayPal gave you my email.
Leonhard06/27/2020
Cool, but this has 0 to do with the current situation?
So whats the issue, you got 1 email?
barty06/27/2020
Yep
Leonhard06/27/2020
Okay, if you aren't okay with the TOS of any product, just don't buy it
No issue
And if you have any issue with receiving e-mails maybe you should seperate your private & public e-mail address
Angel Avila06/27/2020
@barty it's a way to support developers and probably make you look to something you may want, nothing harmful especially considering everyone receives e-mails from unwanted sources everyday.
Unless you're the type of person that reply every single spam e-mail received saying hey who gave you this address, I don't really think it should be a reason to complain, as the e-mail states, if you don't like it, unsuscribe and that's it.
Leonhard06/27/2020

I just want to make you aware that this is illegal in both Canada and the entirety of the EU, so there's that.
Leonhard06/27/2020
No its not illegal in the eu
barty06/27/2020
Opt in requires explicit consent, cannot have prechecked boxes
Leonhard06/27/2020
This is explicit srsly
barty06/27/2020
In any event, I’m done complaining, unsubscribed
Leonhard06/27/2020
It is legal in the EU, I live here
Still same thing: If you are not agreeing with the TOS, don't buy the plugin

Sooo
Opt in requires explicit consent, cannot have prechecked boxes
@barty If you are already a client of the society sending you promotional emails, then this isn't illegal. It took 2 mins to find this.
barty06/27/2020
please stop @ ing me
i don't care anymore, already reported you to spigot
Bananaa06/27/2020
When you read something, read it entirely, don't only read what you want it to say. Btw, accusing someone of doing something illegal without proof is illegal
:slight_smile:
barty06/27/2020
no it isn't
Bananaa06/27/2020
it is
barty06/27/2020
didn't realize kangarko was also hiring children to do his moderation
leave me alone
Bananaa06/27/2020
That's not cool, but ok, I won't @ you anymore
barty06/27/2020

I'm an EU resident, and it's totally legal in europe
barty06/27/2020
Europe
Direct marketing email messages may be sent only to recipients who have given their prior consent (opt-in).
Bananaa06/27/2020
Anyways, you asked us to leave u alone, so do the same
barty06/27/2020
(B2B) communication covering all "natural persons".
The consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous through a clear affirmative action, which means that pre-checked boxes or other types of implied consent is not sufficient.
i also want to make you aware that almost your entire terms of service would be invalid in any court of law
relavis06/27/2020
By clicking the "purchase" button, you are thereby agreeing to the terms of service
It's that simple
There aren't any pre-checked boxes
Angel Avila06/27/2020
He got banned, lol.
