This is probably the most relevant paragraph of that judgement: > The purposes of the public fora, as outlined in the quoted reasoning, > are not met by lying. Indeed, lies are destructive to their purposes. > Information and ideas are poorly disseminated by untrue statements; > true ones are always available for this purpose and much more effective. > As for game actions, untrue statements generally do not have such effects. CFJ 1768 judged that rules 101 and 478 do not prevent Truthfulness working, because lying isn't a method of participating in the fora. Submitting an NoV, however, definitely is. -- ais523
