Thing is some people actually appreciate information, whether the informer is permitted to disclose it or not. Just because you get the random tosser quoting names off forums to the company doesn't mean that they shouldn't inform us. It just means that if people want information then be considerate to the people giving it to you rather than getting them in a heap of ****.

I guess the argument that 'if you don't want to loose your job then don't disclose information' still stands but if you don't get people who selfishly blab things out and ruin it for others then I really don't see the problem.
