DLC20 Discussion (maybe, but why not?)

One of the modders, for whatever reason, was looking at the source code of the community challenge page on the planet zoo website. Ctrl + U brings up the source code, and then Ctrl + F searching for elephant finds it easily - https://www.planetzoogame.com/community?version=pc

This is a reminder not to discuss any information that is gained from hacking into the game files, on the company's official forum.
It's against the rules, and the information is never reliable. If Frontier haven't officially announced something, then it's irrelevant until they do.

No I know nothing.
Nah, they're shoe-ins now. Moderators make statements to save face so people don't keep doing it
Are you suggesting that this extends to viewing the HTML of the website through a function that comes standard in every browser or is this reminder unrelated to any recent activities
Really. Thanks!
Nobody hacked the game files.
It is unintended information, that's for sure.
I suspect it's also related to code that goes into the game, otherwise it wouldn't list the species of a category.
It was information published to their website, intentional or not. It was not obtained by "hacking into the game files", or hacking into anything by any stretch. If they intend to place a gag order on this information, it would be nice to know, because it would presumably extend to other accidental website updates such as the Planco Dictionary thing from last year.
Yeah, Frontier has some history with provinding accidentally unintended information: they leaked 3 animals from the aquatic pack and the sun bear in a video about making animals. Then they published a photo named North America Animal Pack when they were just teasing the pack. Later was the dictionnary leak. And now this one. I understand it's a pain in the donkey for the company when these leaks happen, but they can't put the blame on us.

No, not strictly. But getting information that is clearly not mean for public display (as evidenced by having to look at the html code of a website), and then posting it on a company's official forum still isn't what I would call a good thing to do.
At least Frontier are more lenient that a lot of other companies I know
So it would appear. In which case I suggest that you choose you words more carefully next time you post about stuff like this, because it's not my job to double check when you talk about people getting into the source code and leaking information, that you mean from the game files or from some website.
I thought you guys where doing a elaborate joke with ducknight, I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS WHERE SERIOUS
Hyrax is, technically, still on the table
For my other 3 I would say
Golden Pheasant or Mandarin Duck
Blackbuck
Grey Langur (please frontier I beg off you) or Racoon Dog
Hate to break it to you… but that’s a no.
I didn't even think of that, let's hope it happens
Oh come on have some fun, but you are probably right
