Far-L: Point, but currently even "non-hidden" xsales are screwing the user, because most often the little checkbox is already ticked, and hidden somewhere on the join page where it's not entirely obvious what it is for.

Most sponsors that I've found these days have some sort of xsales going on, and the majority of those do it in a pretty underhanded way; such as having a checkbox for a "get access to XYZ for $1.99*" - and the little * note is buried at the bottom of the page in 7pt font going "valid for 3 days, rebills at $39.99 monthly unless cancelled".

You know, if it would say "valid for 3 days, will not rebill' - sure. That's better.
