Is it possible to introduce a scoring system per profile for a persons credibility when it comes to rumour gathering & validity? If a rumour is correct, score 2 points, if close, 1 point, etc, lose points if wrong (to stop people just chucking random stuff out)?

Wdyt?

Would never work. Sometimes you'd have to wait years to see is a rumour was true.

Gathering the Informations.

Not only that Howard, but sometimes a rumor may actually be true (I.e. "They made X model in X pose!") but nothing that we will see actually ever comes of it.

Case in point: During the Eye of Terror campaign, the representative from GW that my FLGS dealt with said that there would be "head packs" released for the Cadian Shock Troops to make them look like Kasrkin.
They never released them to the general public...however, they do exist and they were "released" to GW shops for dioramas.

It would make idiots spam the Rumors threads with things like "Oh, Tau Broadsides will be in plastic now." No duh.

So, in the long term, News and Rumors would basically suck.
