Not sure if this is the right place to put this, so apologies if I'm mistaken in that regard.

There're probably a million reasons why this is a bad idea, but how about a sticky thread where rumour posters rumours are documented are confirmed or disproved, gradually building up a ratio of accuracy. That way, dodgy, fake rumour posters will soon be brought to light, and accurate sources will be likewise. I would call it the Dakka Rumour Accuracy Tracker or DRAT for short.

Why not judge each based upon its merits and confirmation afterwards?
