[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 191513, member: 134"] Is this the sign up thread? If so, sign me up. Or is that coming in two weeks? [B]No, this is not. Look for it on the 25th or 26th. Will be asking people to list their forum name and in game user names[/B] How can I prove a screenshot was taken during a certain timespan? [B]For those taking a pic of their monitor, I will be asking you to attach a post-it note or something to the screen with a specific word of my choosing, issued that day. For those on mobile taking a screen shot, Jared assures me the meta data shows date and time of photo. Best solution?
