I've got to back up Unnamed.   

Always treat everything 'evidence' wise as suspect and use your best judgement.  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.  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.
