Im new, so I need some clarification. What is considered information posted as fact? If I make a statement and do not include a link, I have to type "jmo" or "moo"?
Sorry I am late getting back to you Justaboy ...
Example of information posted as fact (or stating something as fact) would be saying "there was a fight and the door was kicked in". Members must provide (or at least be able to provide when asked by others), a link that supports both of those elements (one being that there was a fight, and two being that the door was kicked in).
IF it is in MSM that the door was kicked in, and a member THINKS that was the result of a fight (not a fact contained in MSM) the member must make it clear it is their opinion there was a fight that cause it by saying, for example, "I think there was a fight ..." (I believe, IMO, MOO, JMO, etc).
The reason Websleuths places such importance on this is because, sure as Somebody made little apples, next thing it is being quoted further down thread or in subsequent thread, that "oh yeah, there was a big fight and that's how the door got kicked in".
If that is clear as mud, message me and we can discuss off-thread.
