   Honestly, I’m a bit surprised that no one has commented more on this particular update. This seems overly restrictive and I’m not exactly sure how I feel about LUGNET terms now being based on German law.

Am I the only one that sees a serious problem with this clause?

You are not the only one with definite concerns about this change. I can understand that Rene must operate with the law. But LUGNET’s (prior) strong stand against censorship is a big deal to me. So this change, along with the change to allow the deletion of posts at-will concern me a lot.

I’m concerned to the point where, depending on how this all pans out, I may or may not continue to associate with LUGNET.

Hi Steve,

things are never as bad as they seem. Though I reserve the right to cancel s.th., it doesn’t mean that I make use of it, nowhere near.

And for another thing: Nothing has really changed regarding this matter, it’s more clear only. The former ToU had this sentence:

However, LUGNET and its owners and/or operators reserve the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation, or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post, or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, that in the sole discretion of LUGNET and its owners and/or operators are in violation of these terms and conditions or of applicable law.

Hope that will ease your concerns,

Regards, Rene
