My Tank Thread
Hello everyone! The R2R mod team is considering a change in our feedback forum policy regarding posting of private correspondence in feedback threads.
Our policy for years has been that private correspondence could be summarized but not posted directly (either by direct quote or screenshot). The reason for this is that it seemed best to respect the integrity of private correspondence as such and not allow people to post it on the open forum. It also seemed logical that messages could be "photo-chopped" in order to make them say something they didn't originally say.
However, the climate has changed a bit in the online world, and we realize that it's common practice on most venues for people to post emails and other correspondence received about a transaction as proof for readers of what they are saying took place in a transaction.
We would obviously still restrict people from posting someone else's personal info (name, addresses, email address, phone number, etc). Those things would need to be removed from any screenshots before posting. However, the content of the message could be portrayed either via screenshot or copy/paste.
This is something we're currently considering, and we'd love to hear your opinion on the change. Please let us know your thoughts.
