Linking to logs isn't a way to bypass the rule about posting logs, but like any good system enforcing rules each violation should be examined on a case by case basis.
The rule was created to prevent people from posting 400 lines of RC chat and asking for bans, or to post incriminating AIM logs which started giant flame wars.
Lyndzey's link was to support a cause she believes in and evidence to support the actions she is asking be taken. The evidence she presents is partly a log of her talking to Malinko to investigate this obvious problem she came across. His defence was incomplete at best, a vicious lie at worst.
Now, in judging the intention of her linked log I think we should take into account a few things:
1) There is no current chief of the PWA to go to (also contributes to why we are slow to respond to many inquiries).
2) The only higher authority she can go to is Stefan for problems concerning globals, as Unixmad generally runs the business aspect of Graal, not the management aspect, from my experience.
3) There is reason to question if Stefan has grasped the problem as nothing has been done about it.
Now, normally this problem on a playerworld would be made into a support ticket to be handled by the appropriate person. However, in this case there is no appropriate authority to handle this request who has not already been asked to handle it, and hasn't.
Many people's only conclusion is that the complaint has been misunderstood, and that page is to better clarify it to anybody wanting an in-depth explanation of Lyndzey's suspicions and the evidence she has to support them.
I do not believe this use of a link to a page that contains a log is violating the spirit of the rule about posting logs. In fact, I believe it to be a courtesy on Lyndzey's part. |
