Rumours, and rumour mongering - A Warning

[cdnvic]

In volatile situations such as what currently exists in Bangkok, rumours, and hearsay can result in people being put in harms way. At this time we heed all members to remember this, and avoid posting inflammatory allegations, rumours, and other harmful posts that could endanger others.

Many members are in and around the areas affected and require accurate, honest, and clear information about what is happening in order to keep themselves and their families safe. It is imperative that all members pitch in to help them with this, be it by providing accurate information, or by self-moderating yourself and stifling your emotions before responding to a topic.

It's at times of crisis like this that people turn to this forum (including all of you) for guidance, and we hope all members will do their bit to help out.

That being said, we will not have any patience for outlandish behaviour right now, Disruptive people will simply be removed.

Those who have been, and are continuing to help give a clear picture to our members and ourselves, you have our thanks.

Utterly agreed cdnvic. For those, like myself, who have been here through previous protests & the floods know just how useful this forum is and it is generally ahead of the media and marginally behind twitter...not too shabby. It has allowed my family and I to make sensible decisions and we are looking to it again to help this time.

I will do what I can when I can to bring information (safely) from the Chaeng Wattana area.
