Le Captein wouldn't tell me what he left on that UFO, i know what i left, my rifle, but i'm still in deep thought about why the UFO exploded...

In the rules it states that leaked info, real or fake is not tolerated, well i've found a group on Bnet that says it's "dedicated" to finding leaked info on halo 4, is that allowed?

although the group isn't really showing the public and posting directly, i still wonder if it should be allowed.

And just to point out, they are growing steadily, it wont be long until the flood, well, you know the rest.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

If it concerns you that much report your findings to Achronos via PM.

I Only Look Special

That rule is specifically for the public forums. I am not sure that it applies in a private group because they get to decide what their rules are (for the most part). I don't think it is really necessary to bother yourself with what they are doing if you're not interested. Just let them be.

I remember creating a priate group on my other account (that's right i have 2) about a youtube channel, i only had me as a member when i started, i get a private message from a random guy, he starts calling my youtube channel crap, i go to the flood forum and see a thread about me and my group, i have also seen other people reporting on groups in the flood forum, what i'm saying is, if a floodian goes to the classifieds and sees "leaked info on halo 4" what do you think will happen?

If you're worried about spoilers, you shouldn't be on a video gaming website.

Saying that, I avoid the Flood during times when big games are released. Oh, and I don't read any messages from unknown senders. :)

You speak wise words, yet, you don't have a blue hat? :P
Good advice.

This. Why do you care? Does it affect you?

Don't be such a tattletale. I wouldn't be surprised if Achronos said the same, OP.

I would think that the leaked information rule would only apply to Bungie related titles. They haven't been very clear (or consistent in moderating) when it comes to the discussion/showing of leaked content from other games. Scans are bad though. Don't post scans of things.

Haha, I've been too 'rebellious' to get one ;)

Yeah, though it is hard sometimes. I doubt anything will happen to that group; it is private after all. It could be argued that if you don't want spoilers then you shouldn't join - not to mention Bungie isn't in charge of Halo anymore, so I doubt they'll ban people or close a group that isn't really related to anything they're currently doing.

Not a good idea, Snippy. It doesn't belong there, and since most Floodians are at school right now (as am I), there's less activity and you have a greater chance of getting smacked with a ban for spam. :/

But yeah, i have the power to start a full scale flood debate in my hands, but i don't go to the flood anymore, so i think we're safe.

We were somewhere around Barstow...

Damn it. I was expecting Destiny info!

Only after we ban Bricypoo.

I don't think they would really do anything since it isn't even their game. I'm pretty sure that is mainly a forum rule, not a group rule. But I could be wrong...

That rule is specifically for the public forums.

Is it? I've seen threads deleted in groups that violated other rules for the public forum like a thread with "adult material" in for example. Obviously the rules are a little more relaxed in groups, and rightfully so, but when push comes to shove the rules are rules for the whole website not just the public boards.

I've never understood the qualm about leaked info, usually it's in the form of a video that's been leaked by someone playing an early version of it. It's hard to take down and once it's out there it's hard to stop people finding it. It's out there, why not let us see it and talk about it in the forums?

i c u thar c' ing my signiture

Yours in _Kai_

Here is how I see it. It is a private group that has an open membership, meaning you can join any time you want. A person who is interested in H4 could search for groups, find that one and either join it, or not. If the person joins it they will look through the group threads and see all the stuff about H4. They can either click on the thread (knowing that pretty much anything in that group could contain spoilers) or they can just leave the group because they don't want anything spoiled for them.

What I think that rule is implying is mostly for the main forums. I know that there are a lot of active people on the mains and a good percent of them don't like spoilers, it really does ruin the experience. But even still, if you have a spoilers tag in the main thread title it is usually ok (please note I used the word usually for a reason as there are always exceptions).

Yes, but if they first find leaked info, but then post on the forums such as The Flood, than they will be breakin the rules.

That's why you get Coup! Also, I've only seen about three other people with the soffishy.gif avatar.

OT: Yeah, it would just lead to a flamewar.

That person probably got banned because you can't call people out like that. Also, why would info about halo 4 be in the classifieds. Also, what would a floodian do with that info that others wouldn't. Also, most people on here stop in the flood at least on occasion, so aren't we all floodians?
