This needs be said only one time.
The binding contract we all clicked "agree" to without reading the many long pages, lets SE do what they want, when they want, how they want.
SE does not need to ask you anything, about anything they do. You do not even have rights to your account you pay for. SE can if they see fit
double the subs, terminate all accounts, and sell anything hey want to for as much as they see fit.
SE is not accountable to the play base, as far as the legal contract we accepted is concerned. Any accountability SE does, is in good faith that's it.
This all means that SE can come and remove all the Cash Shop threads, or any thread for that mater with out giving reason.
End of the day, we agreed to SE's terms, meaning that love or hate what they do it is with in their right.
