No. Rumours are often false.
Hence them being called RUMOURS.

Banned
Depends on if they are malicious, harmful, abusive or offensive.

Thing is ... rumours are always going to be uncertain. I voted 'no' but if someone started a rumour they KNEW to be false than a little ban might be in order. If someone is passing on something they've heard, well - as long as it's indicated as being a rumour and not claimed to be a fact - it passes the time before our next win doesn't it?

Anyone who is found to have posted a totally false rumour should have their avatar changed to a picture of Ashley Cole for a month. With "I bloody love Ashley I do" as their signature.

If anyone gets themselves hot under the collar from reading a thread started by PSB with an opening post of "All I'll say is that it's going to be big.", then they are the ones that need banning for falling for it.

Yes, anyone who starts a wind up thread / post, should at least be hung drawn and quartered, and then what is left should be fed to the hungry members on the board here.
No... if people are thick enough to be taken in by nonsense on here then they deserve what they get.
However, repetetive spamming-type posts should be discouraged, with short bans if necessary, just because they are tedious.

As always there is a "Report" button any member can click on, which in turn sends an e mail to every Mods personal e mail address, and one of us will deal with it as soon as possible.
What is often amazing, the amount of complaining members will do on the board / thread, but then we receive absolutely no official reported posts whatsoever, strange.
