[major] Conflicts, claims and evidence.
« on: May 12, 2017, 04:12:39 am »
If you disagree with somebody or want to call them out/challenge them for providing false information we want this to be done in the following manner in order to prevent mudfights which really make for dirty topics.

We support the sharing of accurate information. Or maybe more accurately, we want to get rid of bad information.

Before posting, please consider if it's worth it. Does it really matter...?
Anyway...

Here's what we expect:
Provide your claim clearly in a single post.
Provide the evidence to back your claim in the same or a direct followup post.
Only use evidence from oublic sources in order to maintain etiquette and ensure your legal safety.
When the sources are private please consult with the admins first.

If you are unable to do this, please don't make the claim and stick to your opinion.

The role of the staff will be to prevent these claims from turning into a flamewar.

Perhaps worth mentioning to also not mention public data if it could harm or jeapordise someone's privacy.

You know, stuff like family, business, work, that sort of stuff. Even though that's publicly available, it would still harm someone if used against them.
I want something good to die for, to make it beautiful to live.

In regards to publishing 'private' conversations:

No personal information of the counterparty may be divulged without his/her explicit consent.
Conversations can be protected by copyright if considerable 'original and creative effort' went into it.
If at any point previous to the conversation it was agreed (written) that this conversation would remain confidential you are not allowed to post it without explicit consent.
If the counterparty suffers notable damages in his personal or professional life you could be held responsible for these damages depending how a judge weighs the interests of both parties if it comes to that.
