Forum:Altering COD:LEAK

Now, I'm certain everyone is aware of COD:LEAK. And I'm certain most users know why it is in place. For the short story, we were contacted by Activision/Infinity Ward after we posted the plot line to some MW2 missions prior to the release of the game, after which we no longer allowed any leaked material on to the mainspace. I would like to propose that we alter this a bit. I understand the policy is in place for legal reasons, so I do not wish to remove it entirely, but I feel that we can get away with posting some leaked information without violating Activisions legislation. What comes to mind is items such as the leaked achievements, from these we can establish multiple facts, such as mission names, game mode names and achievement names themselves, and since none of these reveal any real plot line we should be perfectly fine to make pages on them, since clearly Activision and Infinity Ward don't seem to mind that these achievements have been leaked (lest Xbox360achievements would have been asked to take them down) then there should be no issues with us taking as much information out of these achievements as possible. Now the real issue that I see is plot line, I feel the main issue that Activision/Infinity Ward had with us was that we posted the plot before release, as such, that should still be banned from mainspace prior to release, however, I feel that we can now be a bit more flexible about the information that we post.

Furthermore, should Activision, Infinity Ward, Treyarch or any other Call of Duty related company disagree with this change then they can simply contact Wikia and/or us again and we can put the policy back the way it was. However since the Wiki hardly gets any of the fancy things that YouTubers get, such as exclusive beta tests and sneak peaks, I feel we should be able to make this change without any of the companies actually taking any notice. 09:31, September 24, 2013 (UTC)
