Showing Clan Chat to the Public

How do you feel about your clan chat being shown to the public? are screenshots ok? what about livestreams?

When you write in a clan chat, do you expect that only clan members will see it? When people take screenshots or videos do you expect them to hide it?

If it is shown, is it a violation of privacy?. In my opinion it would depend on the subject matter, the clan recruitment policy and the amount of chat shown.

If the chat was talking about personal circumstances or specifics then I agree, that is certainly not public material, but why would you be sharing that in clan chat anyway? If the person in the chat was talking about exploits, or how to cheat the game, then yes, you wouldn't want that to be seen by others but then do I really want to shelter those people?

If the clan has an open recruitment policy, it is usually large and anyone can join. There is no real expectation of privacy. If the clan was closed with only a few people in it, then I would see there being a large issue with sharing chat.

The duration of sharing is also a factor, screenshots can be edited to take out any information needed and short videos cover a shorter conversation window. Livestreams which are archived and go on for a while expose a much larger portion of a clans chat.

I hadn't really thought about hiding anything when sharing screenshots or videos. However after thinking about these points, I have decided that in any future sharing from me I will cover the chat portions.
