===The other disclaimer===
The leaks were always leaks. We ran the risk of posting that information once it was public, as TCRF did, and were fine. Changing it now also wouldn't undo the fact the info was kept on here, and thus wouldn't accomplish anything.
Moving it here for now before we decide what to do with it:
'''Special Rules/Disclaimer:'''
*Please do not add any information here only found from a leak (Honoguma, Happa and Kurusu are OK as they were known before, but not the ones only found following the alleged leak). Leaks violate non-disclosure policies and can get websites in trouble, including Serebii.net in the past which only posted information.
*Please don't post any ROMs, and please take note using unauthorised copies of ROMs is illegal and puts you under liability. In some jurisdictions it is not allowed whether you own the original game or not (including [https://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp#download_rom Nintendo's own assertions]); and "The backup/archival copy exception is a very narrow limitation relating to a copy being made by the rightful owner of an authentic game to ensure he or she has one in the event of damage or destruction of the authentic." - (in this case though we are not jurisdiction, it could be only Nintendo and the companies/people who own the game for the purpose of copyright can do this); see "Yes. Game copiers enable users to illegally copy video game software onto floppy disks, writeable compact disks or the hard drive of a personal computer. They enable the user to make, play and distribute illegal copies of video game software which violates Nintendo's copyrights and trademarks. These devices also allow for the uploading and downloading of ROMs to and from the Internet. Based upon the functions of these devices, they are illegal.".

===The disclaimer===
The top of the page is one of the most important parts of the site, being the first thing visitors will see. I have two issues with the disclaimer as it stands: firstly it takes some page space away from the main menu, and secondly I feel it could confuse visitors to both the site and forum about what's allowed and what they can do to contribute if they want to. I think there would be no harm in removing it altogether, but a couple of easy compromises would be to move it to [[Glitch_City_Laboratories:General_disclaimer]] or the bottom of the page.
