I don't mind logging in with Facebook. It saves me from having to sign up for Yet Another Thing, but:
> "Publish games and app activity
Minefold may publish scores, achievements, and other activity to Facebook."
That's unacceptable. I have not begun to use your service yet, I have no trust for you, and you haven't told me in any way whatsoever what sort of activity you intend to post.
No deal.
Many sites have begun telling users exactly what user actions will be posted to Facebook. Others use a very simple "we will never post anything without asking you first" prompt to head off these concerns. Both ways work.
But as it is, I have trouble seeing how a hosting service has any business posting to my FB feed.
Minefold doesn't actually do anything with that permission, so feel free to disallow it. At the moment you can choose to receive an email when a friend starts playing in one of your worlds and we thought Facebook may be better for that so new friends can jump in too. I get how certain spammy "social" games have conditioned us to feel nervous about app permissions and we don't want to ever let Minefold get like that.

It would help a lot if you said as much on the site itself :) Also, the permission-to-post can't be turned off at the permission prompt - I'm unsure if this is a Facebook thing or if that permission is flagged as required. Might be worth looking into.
