If it doesn't happen it doesn't happen, it's no skin off my nose.
It's not like extremely imature and self-obsessing people are going to stand there and say "hahahahaha, omg as if you read that rumour, u r pwned". Oh, wait :roll:
No one says so - i just have gone through things before that people read pretty old 'news' about what ever, and made a fuss because of that... ten seconds later they did find out the real situation and that's that then. A rumour starts to spread which could have been easily avoided.
However, I'm not saying that you're doing so. Actually, what is posted here had mostly some source like medias and stuff like that which is reasonable to discuss.
But still, one should still not forget to look carefully about what it is and better read things twice but post something out of excitement - that's what I want to say. And actually, that's my personal definition of a rumor which would have been unnecessary.
I think the solution here to mark things which are not officially announced (= from the management or the members themselves) as rumor is a good one.
It seems lately that people (like Beauty/Broken in this thread) are taking the time to post information for us, naturally assuming their contributions will be appreciated, and instead getting nearly attacked for it for no apparent reason. What did anyone do wrong here?
Didn't see anyone attacking someone here or posting an inappropriate or insulting/negative, whatever comment about this new information. Everyone simply posted his/her opinion.
And that's now pretty OT - sorry for this ^^;
