New ECF Forum :sub-section: "Articles that may contain 'mis information', 'scaremongering' or outdated and de bunked pseudo science'

Would be a great place to contain all the un helpfull 'stuff' likely to damage the future of vaping, you know, like the 15 threads started about the New French study.

Where is it already ?

I like this idea. The sub-forum could be excluded from search engines using the robots text file, or equivalent in the forum configuration software. Maybe just call the sub-forum "Negative Media" for short.

Far too clever an idea

How about we just fence off a section of the real world for those who write these false scare mongering reports, and not allow any interaction between them and the rest of of us.

Because we should be aware of them so we can refute the lies, but we don't want to add "Google juice" to their cause either.

Would like to hear from the forum gurus as to whether this would be feasible and if they think it's appropriate.

I'd call it the dump, isn't that where the garbage goes?

Or better yet, "The Toilet" or "The Litter Box" (for cat lovers).

I once had a cat that was "litterate." As I was reading the morning paper, he had an uncanny knack for plopping his .... at the exact spot where my eyes were focused.

I like it
Stockpiles of Proven Debunked garbage that we can shove back into the faces of the forces that are behind the "any means necessary" regulate campaign , to rid us of our healthy life saving alternative and fun potential hobby.

So basically split this subforum into two subforums, one being for "good" media and one for "bad" media?

I wouldn't generalize it to that level as it makes it sound like an attempt to cover up the bad press, regardless of integrity. I would rather say that any articles that would normally require a broken link (junk science, obvious misinformation) would reside in the new sub forum.

 

[AgentAnia]

How about "Media and General News - OUTSIDE" or "The Broken Link" or heh heh "No G-Juice Here"... (Actually, do we even know whether the forum PTB would consider doing this?)

They didn't think of it first, so it wont fly
Anyway, I got much bigger fish to fry
