Re: Chief Delphi Moderators Censoring Posts

I will not go into detail about what happened, but does anyone know if it is too late for them to possibly change the game, with that large of a leak?

The only possible reasons it would stay the same are
1) whether they think this was severe enough
2) whether it is too close to kickoff to change the plans (I think this is likely, as everything has probably already been shipped to local kickoffs)

If this happened, say, two weeks ago, do you think they would have brought out the backup game?

There were certainly Chief Delphi moderators involved. Threads can only be removed by moderators. Additionally, my post in the game hint thread was not deleted by me, but by a moderator. Whether they were acting on their own initiative or at the request of FIRST or Andymark is hard to tell, and probably not worth speculating about.

All this transpired within 10-20 minutes, from initial discovery to cleanup.

Don't be surprised. All GDC, FIRST Employees that work in the "Game Design Dungeon" and remote Kick Off sites have to sign a NDA and I would assume there are legal ramifications if there is a leak.

I'd still be surprised if FIRST reacted that way. I'd think it more likely they they dealt with it on a professional level and simply removed that person from the process. After all, look what happened when their biggest event was hijacked - the way it was handled didn't involve lawyers at all. But it's all speculation. I like to think the best of everyone until proved wrong

Re: Chief Delphi Moderators Censoring Posts

I think it's already too late. More and more people are seeing this thread and other posts discussing the deletion, and they will get curious and sooner or later, someone is going to repost the leaked information and it will blow up.

Re: Chief Delphi Moderators Censoring Posts

I've been dealing with NDAs for 35 years. In cases like this, the NDA exists to make it clear how information about the game should be handled. An NDA signer who leaked information about the game would never be trusted again.

If a student member or mentor on our team came across undisclosed information that would effectively compromise the integrity of the game, my expectation would be that they would keep the details to themselves and let FIRST know immediately. Choosing to act on or publicize the information would reflect poorly both on the person and our team.

Finally, the OP (a mentor) should think carefully how future employers might react to his posture on this question. This post already ranks second on Bing when searching for his name.

Let's be realistic. More and more constitutes less than 1% of the FIRST community. Yes this might make some people curious, but with kickoff only a few days away this will blow over shortly.

Re: Chief Delphi Moderators Censoring Posts

The information was pulled from reddit.com/r/frc too.

I don't know if I saw the full extent of the "leak", which was one element of the game, but I'm not convinced it's real, and if it is, I think it was an accident.

If somebody has the leaked information and wants to share it, they WILL be able to do it. They can post it on facebook, youtube, or some other website that isn't moderated.

CD has been consistent with game leaks. There have been leaks in the past, but there have NEVER been any discussion threads about them. To remain in good standing with FIRST, CD should do the right thing, and take down the leaks.

Not arguing that it should be posted here, just saying in the end it might not make a difference.

Agreed 100%. Google already has a cached copy of a certain thread in the rumor mill.......

What is the probability that one or more of the mods is involved with a current team?

Second if the game has in fact been leaked there is a better than average chance that the team has already started design, prototyping, and build, but how are we to know what teams have the info??

This is FIRST. Should we assume the best in these people, or the worst?

If you go to http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=15 and scroll to the bottom of the page, you can see the moderators involved in the Rumor Mill. If you look at the profiles of these moderators, there are some affiliated with FRC teams and others not.

(If, of course, the posts we are talking about were in the Rumor Mill.)

Edit : After checking, out of the 11 mods, there are 7 of them which are involved with an FRC team (based on their profile).

The supposed "leak" was not of the game. Even if it (the "leak") were true, no one would know how it worked in with the game as a whole.
