    [UEF] Scoot	
you litrally can not do anything on the internet anymore without giving consent
14:47
    [J¢p] ezwithmantis	
like every normal site/forum does
i just dont want it to send spam on my email occasionally
it is already full of random garbage like that
14:47
    [UEF] Scoot	
you can also withdraw consent, it's not a oneway road
14:48
    [J¢p] ezwithmantis	
???? really?
14:48
    [UEF] Scoot	
yes that is how it work
14:49
    [J¢p] ezwithmantis	
why is it mandatory to register then
makes even less sense
14:49
    [UEF] Scoot	
to receive the service
you guys in some kind of privacy black hole there?
14:49
    [J¢p] ezwithmantis	
it already processes my personal info there
that is the price for service
not... receiving emails?
its literally how other sites operate

Usually on any other site you untick the "Send me promo stuff via email" option and they send it anway.

the formatting seems wrong, it display the text as a code snippet

This forum potentially sends out summaries and stuff like that, thats why it is asking for consent.
Eventually, you can configure the level of email notification to your liking (and if I saw it correctly by default it should not send anything).

I cannot deactivate, neither do I even care about it. This is default software, we're not gonna reprogramm it because someone is afraid to consent to something that is a legally delicate topic. If you don't trust the FAForever administration to not spam you via a fucking forum, stay out of the forum or stay out of FAF, I don't care.
