I Still Will Not Use Discord:

Since I do not know who the other administrators are, I would like to discuss the block with you. However, you do not seem to have an email address listed to contact you with. And I still will not use an evil privacy-invasive service like Discord. Therefore, I am attempting to contact you about my block this way.

I believe my edits are totally legitimate and not nonsense. For example, my talk on the software as a service page is a reasonable discussion question on what terminology we want to use for our consumer rights activism.

Including the details that I was told to include-

Hello, what would you like to discuss ?
Just saw your assertion on the legitimacy of the edits. Were the edits on the pages of non existant users also legitimate? [[User:Kostas|Kostas]]

The users do exist. They were not made up by me. For example, NathanRiley is an existing user.

Apologies, you are right. I might have been too trigger happy because of other issues with vandalism. Let me discuss with the other mods.

Hello again, sorry for the delay. I see that you have made an alt account here [User:I Still Will Not Use Discord]. This is not encouraged barring extreme cirmustances. I apologize for going directly to blocking but reaching out was the right call. Circumventing the block will lead to banning.
Since in this case I was also at fault for not reaching out if you delete the alt account I will lift the block on your original account.
However, please try to keep edits civil and constructive. I realize these were made in Talk pages but we would like to have interaction on this page be about the wiki itself.

I do not see a way to delete my account. Duckduckgo suggests that I cannot without some sort of mediawiki extension? I cannot link the source due to anti-spam policy.

Talk:Hidden EULA language

I Still Will Not Use Discord:

==More accessible title?==
This looks like a slang term and it made no sense to me at first. What does "roofie" mean in the first place? Do they put people on the roof so they can kick them off and watch them suffer? Are they hiding the terms on the roof of the house such that you are normally not looking for them? What even is the etymology of the word?

I would recommend changing it to something that is more accessible especially to people who speak English as a second language. For example, "Hidden/Questionable EULA terms".

=Is the term consistent with the "Granny Rule" in the mission statement?=
It is a good term, but it is not clear to me that it is consistent with the Granny Rule in the mission statement. The term may be seen as overly inflammatory for Granny. It might also offend movements that defend sexual assault survivors. Do we consider this an exception to the Granny Rule? What are your thoughts?

=Should this be replaced with something more internationally applicable?=
"Using lengthy documents (often 50+ pages) to hide terms that rob you of your privacy and rights as an American citizen (your day in court)."
I'm not sure since I don't know if this wiki is intended for consumer protection outside of America?
