Threads based on articles containing misinformation that people may fall for and that could cause a stampede of embarrassingly misinformed comments are supposed to be clearly marked as such by the original poster. Violations can be reported by clicking Report Abuse. I reported one a few days ago and the management quickly locked the thread. If you check the main list of forum topics every few minutes, you will frequently see very short-lived threads that are pulled for redundancy or for being nonsense.
Thanks for the info. I think over the years I have been reading I have learned to automatically skip and ignore posts from certain websites and/or from people I have learned post foolish things.
