Does the EA forum have a terms of use document, or something similar, which gives details of the new (and old) rules? I couldn’t find it with a quick search. EDIT: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/termsOfUse

So EA violated this term – they could have emailed or DMed me but didn’t, and also gave no notice when i commented.
Also the terms don’t specify that the CC BY stuff doesn’t apply before dec 1, 2022. They should. Someone reading the terms might think that all the old stuff is CC BY and act accordingly. The terms should also include the relevant text from the older terms so people know what terms still, today, govern all the older posts. Deleting the terms that still actively govern older posts today from the terms of use doesn’t make sense.

How do quotes interact with CC BY?
