Why are we letting people post fake rumors threads on the GARM?

    I don't give a damn the stupid stuff on the D&D
    The GARM is the most important part of this place and the fake news needs to go.

    When someone posts "SOURCE" and in their post for their rumor
    THERE IS NO SOURCE LINK
    and when you do simple investigating on twitter etc, you don't see anything resembling the fake ass rumor

    this is wrong

    So if someone as an example post:

    SOURCE: Houston possibly trading for John Wall
    and in the post, it says I saw someone say something about it and no link

    back in the day, that would be locked up like alcatraz

    Also you know people are just lazy as hell and not read the post and just assume the title is true.

    Please LOCK FAKE NEWS THREADS in the GARM.

    @Clutch @J.R.
    can we please enforce people posting fake rumors with at least a link to their source?

    There is no Atlanta Hawks trading Lin to the Rockets, that's not the rumor but people are obviously thinking its real
    This opens the door for extreme spamming of fake rumors if they can't even produce a LINK to the the SOURCE

    Fake rumors are the best rumors, who wants to hear "They aren't going to do anything good"?

    Let the people dream.
