Post A terms and conditions popup before loging in Per update?
I have heard about people not doing things correctly, especially for important things such as bug exploiting and stuff like that.

For my example, why not add a Warning box/Terms and conditions That appear after updating the game or first Login.

I mean, not everybody who plays knows about the forums or visits so if you enforced people to at least look at the most important notes and rules before playing I think it could make a difference.

The very first thing you see when you install the game.

Star Sonata License Agreement

Cheating will consist of exploitation of bugs to advance ones character, hacking or modifying the client or hacking into the server, intercepting or sending information to or from the server in any way other than standard use of the client, use of macros or any other similar abnormal activity that can cause an increase in the load on the CPU, accessing accounts without permission, using any 3rd party program which confers an advantage to you or affects the speed of the game, or unauthorized use of Star Sonata administration or monitoring features. You must report any exploitable bugs to the administration as soon as you find them, and destroy any wealth or items you accidentally get through an exploitable bug. If you are found to be cheating or using a bug to your advantage, your account may be subject to suspension or deletion without refund, as well as the accounts of anyone whom you help as the result of the cheating.

Abusive or sexual language, harassment, advertisement (Spam), or deliberate attempts to circumvent the swear filter within the Star Sonata chat or forums is unacceptable. People involved in this activity will be warned, have their accounts banned, or deleted depending on the severity, blatancy, or number of violations. There will be no refunds for accounts deleted or banned. There is no expectation of privacy of in-game chat or messaging. Star Sonata reserves the right to monitor all communications that happen within game or on the forums. Though we will try to cut down on abuse of the chat and forums, Star Sonata cannot be held responsible for any abusive, harassing, demeaning, offensive, or threatening statements made thereon. Inappropriate user or character names are also not allowed and subject to deletion or permanent muting. If you are found to be using

“Griefing” is defined as taking actions against other players mainly to hurt them within the game and not for any advancement of your own character. Star Sonata reserves the right to suspend or ban any players for excessively griefing or excessive anti-social behavior within the game.

This game, the website, the client, and the server are provided as services “as is”. Star Sonata does not warrant that the operation of these services will be uninterrupted or error free.

There is no guarantee that Star Sonata will continue to provide its services for any length of time. Star Sonata reserves the right to close down its servers with a 30 day notice, refunding all players the balance of any further months that they’ve paid for.

In the event of a material breach of Star Sonata’s obligations to provide access to and use of your account, the system, the game, game content, or user content, your sole and exclusive remedy shall be a refund of any paid access fees attributable to the period of wrongful denial of service, or three months’ access fees, whichever is less.

This agreement can be modified at any time by sending a message at log-in to all users and asking them the re-accept the new agreement. If you do not accept the new agreement, you will be entitled to a refund of any remaining subscription fees.

All accounts and in-game credits, ships, bases, items and everything else within the game are the property of Star Sonata. Paying for a subscription does not imply legal ownership of the account or anything contained or associated with that account. In cases where multiple parties claim the right to access an account, Star Sonata reserves the right to settle the dispute in whichever way we think is correct.

In-game items or commodities, such as “Crack Whores”, does not advocate breaking of any local laws in such jurisdictions that prohibit whoring, possession of nuclear waste, or destroying rats with large lasers.

Someone has been playing League of Legends I think... but the SS EULA hasnt changed ever as far as I know, so reconfirming it every time isn't strictly necessary and lets be honest, no1 is going to read it if you prompt after patching. You do have to sign off on it at install so people can definitely be held accountable to that. If your goal is actually making people aware of the right thing to do, simply posting the eula at every patch isnt going to help.

They are given It to read and accept when they install. If they just scroll and accept it is still binding by law. So if they fuck up it certainly isn't the fault of administrators for not telling them. Not their fault they are so stupid and cant read. But also absolutely no concern of administrators, they are given their chance.
