If we wait until everything is verified by Disney we will have nothing to talk about!
The problem is that there are too many bad actors out there making things up so that there's no real way to tell the difference. Maybe there would be a scoreboard, where each source has to register each rumor they float, and then it remains labeled "not yet true" in red until it comes true, when it gets labeled "true" in green. Then we can clearly see how many of the rumors each source floats end up being true. LOLIf we wait until everything is verified by Disney we will have nothing to talk about!
But this being a rumors forum, I see nothing wrong with people that are not as Disney savvy coming in and posting that they "heard that Space Mountain was going to be demolished, is there any truth to that?" I mean, that's what we're here for. To provide better sources for their information etc. Not to belittle them or make them feel stupid for asking. And if things like that provoke thoughts or conversation, so be it. What does it hurt?
The mods' sanity.
The problem with letting people post ridiculous questions is that the fact that they post it will make people think it is happening. Look at the joke post on this board about fireworks to see evidence of that. There's no problem with asking the question and people shouldn't be mocked. However, the Rumors and News forums isn't a good place for any wild thing that someone heard from a random person. Also take a look at the post on this board about someone's mom hearing that all M&G's would either become paid or be Chase cardholder exclusive. There's no legitimate source for the rumor.
And there's the rub. What is a "legitimate source"? I got my information on the Solo boycott from Star Wars youtube channels. It's all they talked about in January, February, March, and April 2018. The moderator of this Disney Rumors and News forum thought "random youtube channels" aren't a valid source of evidence and preferred to hear validation from Disney. I gave him the channel names, some with hundreds of thousands of subscribers and they've been on YouTube for years so he could validate I wasn't just making this up. Even when Solo performed at one-third the box office of Last Jedi this moderator REFUSED to acknowledge there ever was a boycott because Disney never confirmed the boycott. I'm sure to this day he'll tell you there was no Solo boycott.
I agree, "random youtube channels" aren't a legitimate source of information. A rumor wouldn't have to come from Disney itself, but it should come from a source that has some credibility. That'll be up to whoever becomes the moderator of this board to decide. There were plenty of rumors posted that didn't come directly from Disney so I don't think that was actually the line.
what the heck was wrong with Solo anyways? I enjoyed it.
It was fantastic! I feel bad for those that decided to skip it for whatever reason.what the heck was wrong with Solo anyways? I enjoyed it.
