So, I've been writing this for the last 5 until 10 minutes and I think I understand the meaning and the reasons behind that rule. "undesired attention" is any kind of attention drawn towards certain groups or flaws in the system which causes a negative, or unwanted, impact.
A better explanation of "undesired attention" would be any activity which is against the forum rules that is either seen by a staff member or brought to their attention by a third party.
Now, a way around this could be to make some kind of company policy that any time an alteration or deletion occurs they must give a reason for this to the player. This could be helpful in another way, it also informs the person who accidentally made a mistake be able to avoid it in the future.
However, this also may present another problem: How do you enforce such a policy? I honestly don't know how this is possible without extensive resources and stupid bureaucratic systems, I don't know if there are already systems in place that can just be extended to include such things.
We do have an internal document which specifies what is to be done regarding threads or posts which are deleted. I can't and won't give further information on that. Posts which are edited usually include the reason appended to them which forum members can see.
Thank you for answering my questions though. It gives me some faith in at least you and possibly all of Frogster. I was honestly not expecting a response. Also, if it's possible, next time rules are revised or reworded, could we possibly get some kind of notification, probably through email, about it?
You're certainly welcome. It's not as if we regularly get a chance to explain, to some extent, the reasons why we--the staff--do some things around here. As for forum rule updates and revisions, any such will likely be announced publicly, rather than privately via email or PM.
