There's a weird, edge-case, legal precedent (that I won't bother to look for, it just rings a bell) that discussion fora are actually *less* communicative than non-fora. The argument is specific for cases where something is done by "informing/submitting to the [officer]" (e.g. Cantus Cygneus). The idea being that in the DF, it's a general open optional forum with no expectation that an officer see what's posted there, even if e posts there regularly (I mean, I regularly skim/skip stuff here - we all do). But if you meet the officer in a random place online and tell em, it could create the assumption/evidence more strongly that e'd been "informed", especially if the medium supports directed saved personal messaging and so forth. -G.
