Whoa, whoa, hang on. Small portion of space?
Space is huge! Sol (like any star system) is gigantic! In the BPverse, the big method of detection is subspace transits. Now, hiding anything in space can be tricky, because generally there is no 'cover' or real means of concealment - but there are ways.
Absolute discretion is a condition of testing; had you actually seen anything worth hiding you could have just really ruined things. Please don't. This is the second time you've tried to spoil the ending right out in the open, and even though you don't have the information required to do it, it speaks to qualities totally unbecoming of the job you were asked to do.
Considering your recent behaviors as a moderator, you are in no position to speak of "absolute conditions" of the job.
More to the point, I am also operating off and speaking of things that I know are not true and you should as well. I am revealing information that is months old and totally incorrect; the incorrectness of this information was asked of and affirmed back when I was still testing no less! The only value this information has to anyone is as a historical footnote. It is also so vague and inspecific as to be useless. A "supership/superweapon/superportal" could mean damn near anything and at this level of vagueness will make people curious about what happens. My commentary on Snail's comment says absolutely nothing of a spoiling nature. It's literally as vague as his is, and must be because it's agreement with him.
So kindly shut the **** up, I'm not revealing your secrets and I'm not trying to.
That's funny, I think my moderation's been excellent and quite in the proud tradition of HLP's best.
Just abide by a simple rule: don't talk about anything that might even be vaguely related to anything you've seen that has not been released to the public. What you said could've done some real damage if we hadn't been more careful. Disconfirmation is as serious as confirmation, and when your judgment on the matter falters you'll have to bow to ours.
Judging by the strength of your reaction I'm guessing the point got across. Any further comments from you on this line of conversation will be removed; you simply shouldn't be discussing it. You were trusted, please don't betray that trust.
