Re: Chief Delphi Moderators Censoring Posts

I would just like to say, thank you to the moderators who removed the leaked information. I'm not an active poster on Chief Delphi, but lately I've been periodically browsing through the game hint discussion thread, to see what ideas people are throwing around. Kickoff is very exciting for me, and the complete lack of knowledge is part of that. If by chance I had happened to see the leaked info, it would have hurt that experience irreparably.

I think the people who are arguing that "once it's public, it's public" and that it's futile to try to suppress it are missing the point: many people don't want to see leaked information. And when I'm on a site like Chief Delphi, I assume that I won't see that kind of information. If an episode of a TV show I like is leaked, I know that I can easily find the leak if I look for it. But I also trust that the sites I frequent will not link to that information, not because they believe they can suppress or un-leak it, but for the sake of visitors who don't want to see leaked information. We can and should be able to have the same experience that we would if nothing had leaked at all, and seeing the leaked information splattered everywhere would ruin that. I expect, as a matter of course, for a massively-influential, semi-official site, such as Chief Delphi, to have a policy of not showing any leaks or linking to them. I'm glad to see that the moderators here live up to that standard and appreciate the responsibility that comes with moderating such a prominent site.
