Cherry pie is one of my favorites too, in keeping with m_conners comments.

autobunny

never understood any pie that is not a meat pie.  maybe the bunny should listen more to the pies ...

I don't like to associate cows with pies!

Pig pies? Nah

Getting too off-topic, will often get topics move to that category.

we should be able to discuss serious stuff and have fun at the same time.  at least that's how the bunny rolls.

That may actually be pretty close to when it was originally put in the TOS. So, nothing new.

I will say, that is one of the least moderated parts of the guidelines, but if it gets out of hand, it still can be.

looks like it was introduced at the end of 2014 - wow.  dumb bunny. 

this doesn't have it

so back on topic, how did so many of us miss this?  or only we losers on this thread?

Yes, it looks like Pat already had his pie and is returning the favour.

pies have always been about sharing.

this is exactly the kind of to and fro we will be missing when this rule gets enforced.

remember folks, pies are always relevant.

Lots of companies update their Terms of Service. Generally if there is a major change, they'll mention the changes.

Mostly, terms of services for companies are updated, usually once a year, just to make sure it's compatible with current laws, or perhaps even slightly loosen the TOS. But in any event, it's in companies best interest to make sure the newest TOS is roughly the same as the last one, if they feel they don't need to highlight any particular change.

Usually the biggest change, in my experience, is for companies to add "forced arbitration" to settle court cases. Even that's getting pretty rare, since the vast majority of companies already include that in their TOS.

Cases wise, it's up to the courts to determine on a case by case basis if a complaint can be done through arbitration or allow the lawsuit to continue in the courts. Companies can't force all lawsuits to go through arbitration, but it will add an onerous step to the process for any lawsuit, great for the pockets of lawyers. That being said, for an average company, the forced arbitration rule does keep the annual cost of defending legal actions to something manageable, since most complaints can be resolved with arbitration. The ones that are deemed, by a judge, suitable to go through the full court process generally are cases that meet a fairly high bar in the legal sense.

All hail Caesar.  Thanks for the info.   

The bunny is however not litigious in nature, nor in built up areas. It's more about what actions mods may take on the site itself. 

Edit:

Looks like Caesar just got muted!  What's happening???!!! Et tu Caesar?

For e.g. something like this

Everyone knows how dumb the bunny is and how he often misinterprets words.  Also the op in this case has not even responded to the thread for 2 weeks since his op.

Or this

The bunny just wants pets to be safe. 

Does this make the bunny a bad bunny out just a dumb one? 

What is OK and what is not? 

And why did @Caesar49bc get muted? 

52yrral

autobunny
