In chat today the subject came up about restrictions on the use of /seen, for sentries specifically. Derp came on, asked me when psy had last been on. I had been on for awhile and remembered that Psy had been on bout two hours previous, and I did a /seen on him and saw he had been offline for just over an hour and fourty minutes. I told as much to derp, and jocelyn told me that I ought not to hand out information gained using /seen.
I told her that I already knew when psy had been off. I also told her that, to my knowledge, there wasn't anything wrong with me using the command this way. On skype and through other mediums we toss around people's stone counts and when they were last online all the time, and I said as much. When I first became a sentry I asked mag about using /seen, /rx and /spawn, and he said that as long as I didn't use /spawn to get out of a pvp situation or otherwise use commands to exploit anything or anyone, I was fine. I didn't say that exactly, but I tried to get across that mag had said I could use /seen as I was. Jocelyn maintained that I should not give information I got using admin commands, that it was benefiting one player over another outside of my own town and that it was a way of abusing my powers.
It's a valid concern, and jocelyn seemed reluctant to post it, so I shall. Who is correct? What sort of restrictions exist on giving information gained from using /seen and /rx? Post yo thoughts.
