[QUOTE="Yair, post: 4025549, member: 10913"] The idea is that what's posted to Gleemax just doesn't count. It's as if it was never posted (as long as you had the right to post it to begin-with). So if you post something to Gleemax and your site under THESE rules, you do NOT cede rights to wizards and may sue them just like you could if you only posted it to your site. But the fact that you posted it on Gleemax amounts to nothing, it's meaningless. You'd be in the exact same position if you only posted to your site, as the posts on Gleemax just don't count. If something is on my site Wizards can't copy it. They might if it's only on Gleemax, under THESE terms, since what's on Gleemax just doesn't count. If you want protection under these rules, you need to post the stuff elsewhere too. I hope that makes it clearer. At any rate the point isn't that my solution is necessarily best, but rather that there ARE solutions. Wizards' lawyers just don't care. They slapped on the easiest solution for them, and moved on to other issues.
