NDA clarificatoin pls (re: FFXIV)Follow

So I'm doing my best to not actively seek information on the game that stems from alpha leaks, but the rate at which articles are posted on the FFXIV boards that may or may not be leaks combined with information coming in from sources that are known to be "legitimate", it's getting pretty hard to sort out what I understand about the game based on legit information that everyone "should" have access to and what I've learned about the game based on leaked alpha info, and since I've nary seen an FFXIV CM posting or even showing up in the recent visitors list for the last several days, I'm asking here.

If a person is in the alpha/beta test, they're not suppose to divulge any information. We're not supposed to post leaked information anywhere on ZAM that stems from leaked sources. So based on past experiences with SE or other devs for games under NDA, what happens if the boards evolve to the point where leaked information is the basis for discussion? I honestly can't tell things apart anymore. "Did I learn this from a Famitsu article or was this something I saw in a screenshot from an illegitimate article that was linked here?"

Personally, I don't care. If I've read it somewhere at this point, I reckon it's fair game to discuss because there's just too much information to sort out but if I get a PM shaking the naughty finger at me for discussing leaked information, imma be a sad panda.

As testing for FFXIV carries on finding the distinction between "breaking the NDA" and "public knowledge" is going to become harder and harder.

We will continue to nuke posts we deem to be breaking the NDA. Unless it is blatant or habitual breaking of the NDA by a single user, we won't be slapping any wrists. It can be hard to know that Site C that says something about FFXI got it from Site B which got it Site A which got it straight from the alpha.
