I've got to back up Unnamed. Â Â

Always treat everything 'evidence' wise as suspect and use your best judgement. Â Faking chat logs / screen shot chat has been a thing for at least two if not three generations of MMO's now.

It does make me wish there were some actual proper chat logging in the game though. Â With this 'screenshot' / active 'cut and paste' only logging it's hard for the other side to contest data as well.

Feh.

Can't really trust anything you don't witness firsthand. But I am curious about the /echo thing, related to circumstances referenced here and just in general. It can be used to fake /tells and error messages, but can it be used to fake both at the same time? That is to say, if someone set the /echo font to a pink color to fake a /tell, and then set the /echo font to a red color to fake an error message of the /tell not being successfully delivered, would it turn all the /echo text in your chat box red, or would only messages posted in /echo after that be red? I'd test it myself, but I can't get in game at the moment.

I feel like I'm 20 weeks behind the scene on tumblr.

What happened that there's now fake-chats out there..?

How are people even doing this?

That was something I considered briefly before replying but I wasn't so sure what the overall opinion on that notion would be. But with that being said I can safely say I agree with leaving it the way it is.
