Hello.
At this time we have no intention of updating our policy regarding evidence containing staff chat. Some very valid points have been brought up, however there is no need to change our current policy. Staff chat is something that should never be shared outside of any staff environment and this is a very important aspect of our staff master policy. Videos containing staff chat may end up being beneficial for other players within a report, and staff are more than welcome to provide videos with the staff chat edited out.
We do not intend to make it a requirement for staff to edit their evidence to remove staff chat so they can post publicly. This should not be a real issue, as unedited evidence will be submitted to staff regardless, and they are trusted to make informed, and sensible decisions with the evidence they have. Furthermore, any reports made against support staff are handled by senior staff.
Overall, all reports are going to be handled by trusted staff members who have been given the ability to make such decisions as they have earned it. Reports involving those in staff who have been accused of a rule breach will further be subject to senior admin discretion. This combined with the options for staff to publicly provide video with staff chat edited out as well as the right to appeal should mean this is not a real issue. Thank you.
