Nda partially lifted???

[Kallera]

Greetings,

Sorry for the delay in clarifying this, and with today's announcement seeming to cause more confusion.

Here is how non-disclosure agreement will work in Beta Test phase 3:

• Information will be free to post. Everything is open and you can post freely about any aspect of the beta test and your thoughts on it.

In regards to images and video in Beta Test phase 3:

• You can post images of phase 3 (no images from Alpha, phase 1 or phase 2)
• You cannot post audio or video.

We will be making a more detailed announcement before the start of Beta phase 3, but I wanted to share this general overview now.

Thanks Bayohne. This is great news to hear.

You cannot make a video about screen shots.

It was clearly stated no video or audio containing FFXIV:ARR content is allowed..

Bumping a slightly outdated thread. Sorry.

Since I do not get an answer on the "other" forums, I'll ask here...
There seem to be rumors of people who got banned because they posted cropped or cut phase 3 screenshots. Is this true?
Is that Copyright logo from the left bottom corner a must have? Is it okay if it's smaller due image hosting sites automatically resizing the picture?
I'm pretty curious about this and hope I'll get an official answer.

Thank you, Hiir.
I was too focused on the NDA.
But... doesn't that mean we're not allowed to create signatures etc. without putting the legal notice on it somewhere? :S

[HiirNoivl]

Our entire forums has a disclaim and trademark at the bottom of the page! ^_^ */point* so you see why we have siggies and a whole meme thread.

Where people get into trouble is when they have uploaded stuff on like Imgur or pinterest or something without it.

So uhm... What if I uploaded stuff on like my photobucket album (which has no disclaimer etc. of SE) but then put the links/pictures on here?
Now I feel like I violated the rules x_x

Edit: Mainly, because I couldn't take proper screenies in 1.0 due the lack of a "Scroll lock" key on my keyboard...

[HiirNoivl]

I dunno I think this applies to only Beta Screenhots.

[Coris]

I am feeling horrible right now.
My screenies which I took had to be cut unless I wanted the interface on it. To share them here or with friends, I uploaded them to my photobucket album which has a password on it (but I think that doesn't matter...?).
From what I understood, I am not allowed to use a cut picture as an avatar on like Skype, right?
