Board Imposters

1) Its sad, but necessary to report that some of the more vocal minority have begun to make posts using our FAUXRUMORS names. In the past we have never removed posts unless:
a) They were spam
b) Repeats
c) Impostors here to disrupt the normal discussion of the subject matter
2) We will continue to do this, as well as not allow anonymous posts but will NOT turn to moderating each and every post. We have found that blogs that 'moderate'/censor posts are usually afraid to have contrary opinions. We at FAUXRUMORS are fine with other opinions, but won't allow a very minuscule minority to disrupt the flow of this, the fastest growing hockey rumors blog on the net today!
Apologies to the 99.99% of our readers to whom this post does not pertain

Ha ha! Faux you are hysterical! Not allowing 'anonymous' posts...

Let me give you a tip...just because someone has an ID doesn't mean they are not anonymous!

And as for moderating comments, I agree with you on something, I hate that, but have had to temporarily moderate my blog comments due to 'someone' posting very inappropriate comments.

While our disagreements may border on the hilarious I have at least always kept the comments and discussion to the topic and not to personal and childish attacks. Unfortunately not everyone does that and I had several inappropriate comments on my blog. The good thing is due to my 'traffic tracker' I was able to pin down an IP address of the commentor and now have more interesting information to post in the coming days!

Just ignore him and he'll go away. He seems to be the type who is loving all this attention. No need to censor, or even respond. Just ignore him.

1) Leave it to a woman to be the voice of reason. We have to agree that her advice would be the best way of handling this
2) FAUXRUMORS has always told us other members of this blog to not respond to these kind of people. They were apparently correct.
3) We will adopt that as policy from here forward. If any of our other readers wish to respond to this person that's your business, but we will no longer get into that nonsense.
4) It'll be considered what it is, noise: Its there and occasionally annoying, but ignore it and it will go away. Thanks Stacey

1) Hey FAUXRUMORS 2, good job! We also agree with Stacey, and as you mentioned, it is the official policy of this blog to NEVER get involved in such matters
2) To everyone else we should have a new posting shortly about our latest stop along our tour of the NHL. We're in Florida. Look for it later today!
