RE: GDPR and COPPA conformity - Jayenbee - 12-16-2019
I'm pretty sure our profile pictures come under the Fair Use Act and it is not, nor should it be, the responsibility of Disco forum moderators to police such. - It would be a matter handled by the copyright owner of said images to take into their own hands.

So, quick note: its not optional. Funny how this was mentioned back in alleys time but still hasn't been done. Course then there's the issues of the backdoors, but lets not get in to that, shall we.

Are you right?
The answer is yes you are absoloutely right. But if i were to chose your path, then the matter would get ignored like any other request. Or i am to pay 1billion credits for this change.

It's not just IPs, they also collect hardware specifications to track and potentially ban people.

Ever heard the adage that it isn't funny if its true nor is a threat in jest when you've got the power to carry it out? It was a known issue over a year ago, how is it still not fixed? The issue of it being public: well its a public matter, and if dealt with in private it would be ignored.

We do not hold personal information about people outside of things like email addresses. Upon signing up you have the option to opt out of receiving emails from and you can hide it from other people. These are all changes that can be made via your control panel as well. Any email sent by Discovery will have an unsubscribe option as well. A lot of the required changes for GDPR would have been put in place by MyBB. Your details are not passed on to 3rd party companies either.
what about my right to request all the data you hold on me, and have any data you hold on me, to be deleted permanently?

Remember when we actually made ourselves GDPR compliant by rolling out that giant Terms of Service document in February and the entire community blackballed it when they realized what GDPR compliance actually meant?
Guess we can always dig that up and post put it back in place.

Didn't the Indians (CGS) get nailed for copyright issues?
Is the server hosted in Germany? I get a feeling that any sort of enactment of slave trading is illegal there. Something about "intent" and "Objectionable material".
Who then gets charged or sued? Server owner, server administrators or the offending player?
I might just look that up and see who can get into trouble for what...
