Forum:Leaked Information

We've been telling people that we don't accept leaked information, but there is no such policy in the Community Guidelines. While I agree such information shouldn't be added, I don't agree with claiming such a policy exists when it doesn't.

Therefore I propose adding such a policy.

I'm not a writer of 'legalese' so I can't really write anything that sounds good myself, but I thought I'd open it up for discussion.

My position is that any information that is leaked, through human error, theft or bug is not considered a reliable source. Unless the leak is acknowledged, such information is more than likely to be fake or out of date, incomplete and subject to change, and even if it is acknowledge it is still likely to be out of date, incomplete and subject to change.

While officially released information is also subject to change, the assumption is that since it was officially revealed, either in a demo or to the press, there is a reasonable expectation that at the time of release it was intended to convey content or mechanics that were expected, at the time, to make their way into the final game.JakePT 08:05, November 9, 2011 (UTC)
