So you were not serious about banning them?

What if certain people take your misinformation seriously?


So you again are too cowardly to answer the question, or is this your answer?

I don't think it's an unreasonable request to know the stance of the forum on this matter.  Is "fake news" about the virus, something that could put lives at risk, something you care about or not?

One of the other discussion board groups has broadcast a policy regarding misinformation about COVID-19.

I think it is a good idea to get rid of the misinformation.

Their policy looks like this:

As you are undoubtedly aware, the world is facing an unprecedented emergency with COVID-19 and the situation is rapidly evolving.

Recently there have been some discussions on this forum relating to this crisis, including some posts which contained misinformation. The health and safety of our employees, customers, and the public at large is our utmost priority. We strongly encourage you to follow the recommendations of experts in your area and around the world.

Relying on accurate information is paramount to successfully overcoming this global pandemic. We will not tolerate the propagation of misinformation on our platform which could result in serious consequences for the public at large. If you see any false information posted on a ProBoards forum, report it to us here. Further, on our Support Forum we will not tolerate information from non-authoritative sources.

The following links can help you find information about COVID-19 and social distancing:

World Health Organization (WHO)

US CDC
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

EU CDC

At ProBoards, we are committed to continuing to provide our services without interruption. Our employees began working from home as of last week. We are exercising extreme caution to help contain the spread of this disease by practicing appropriate social distancing. Our staff will continue to be available as normal, and forums should experience no interruptions.

Online communities will prove crucial in the coming days and weeks as society introduces social distancing. Platforms such as ours will ensure continued community engagement in both a safe and responsible manner.

We have a difficult time ahead of all of us. If you are able to, please consider white-listing us if you use an ad-blocker, or subscribe to PB+. This global downturn will no doubt cause significant impact to the financial health of companies around the world. Your help is sincerely appreciated in helping to support us while we continue to support you through this time.

Thank you for being a member of ProBoards. Please be safe, stay healthy, and we will all come through this together.




Nemo, thank you for not being a tard like me and all alarmist and actually getting my point across properly.  This is exactly what I was trying to ask, is OzPolitic going to do something like this to stop the spread of dangerous misinformation?

It can be dumped in the Fringe or the Mods can remove it, ban repeat offenders, whatever, I don't care, it would just be nice to know what the stance is.

Thanks Nemo, you're better than I at this.

I think your point was good and I'm supportive of it and just trying to add another perspective to it.

We really do need to take this virus seriously and those contributing "tripe" to the subject ought to stop and think about what they are doing.

I just read the Bondi covid thread, I think you're right.

My bad. 

I guess we've got an answer after all.

USA offers 'too much Freedom' of Speech and other things like the 'right' to bear arms. But that might help them fight hostiles like China who wants to turn North America back to the Yellow Man with the help of their Hispanics and those Africans via the Media which is undermining the nation's President at every opportunity because Politics is no longer under their control (which probably allowed China to prosper all those decades with the USA not full-filling its full potential). Though the C.I.A might cut a deal with the Media and help get rid of Trump. There will be more than riots if that happens. Conspiracy or Truth will be a mixed basket of nuts for a squirrel.

Australia is somewhat more disciplined with its convictions since a Penal Colony was set up here.

If such Corona 'Hoax' claims are made, then - like the USA, we accept them as a part of the big picture? Or, like Australia we keep such behind bars? The Quiet Achievers have just had their Arts and Humanity subjects increased in Fees by 113%.
I bet the Artists of Australia will come together to form an Artists Independent Industry of immense wealth beyond the reach of the Australian Political Industry's grasp. Never looking to see what's behind the picture.  Wink

Now we have a new spike of the virus in Victoria! Worries me—I have to drive to Pt Melbourne to drive on to the Spirit of Tasmania late September. Want nothing to get in the way of that!

Some careless idiots let that happen! Glad to see the massive compulsory testing regime!

Tassie will open its borders on July 25 (according to an email from Spirit of Tasmania.)

I have had a Corona Virus test. Is OK—but when they twirl the cotton bud shoved right up your nose—it burns it burns!
