Forum:Sources for Pre-Release Info

This is a rather minor discussion, but it's something I think we should clear up. We recently had a problem on the Mob of the Dead page before it was released. A user claimed to have used an application called "Modio" to view the files of the recent black ops II patch and found references to several perks and weapons in MotD. As it came to pass, not only can Modio not do that, but almost none of the perks and weapons actually ended up appearing in MotD. The only reason the edit wasn't investigated immediately was the user left "lines of code" as his sources for all this info. However, the code was meaningless to anyone trying to validate it.

I propose simply that, if a user is going to source a line of code for pre-release info, they instead take a screenshot of the coding so that other users have something to reference. Simply having text that vaguely looks like coding isn't very helpful, and could lead to situations like we recently had. 12:41, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
