Threadiquette- Questions about rules welcome here

[marlywings]

As has been stated in the past by Kimster, there is no evidence to date which mentions GBC has any type of mental disorder. All members were asked to refrain from discussing this.

 

[marlywings]

Marly, I dont understand why some members have different rules? AM I wrong in thinking this? I am following your request to stay away form mental disorders and thought your comment was directed at all forum/thread members?

Yes correct...it was directed at all members in Allison's thread.

I don't get it either. Most of these threads are full of rumours, speculation, and a little off topic stuff. If that was all removed, there were be almost nothing left.

I don't get the rumour thing at all. Why are some posts, eg. GBC possibly being gay, allowed to remain in the main thread, yet posts about diet etc are removed from even the chat thread?

Every time I look the page numbers are diminishing.

We've had threads and threads and threads discussing various personality disorders - Kimster herself even gave us links to discussions/radio shows etc on Sociopathy. As far as I remember she never said don't discuss it.

Have the rules changed?

I dont understand why there is still a post up with information regarding metal disorders.

We have never allowed rumors on Websleuths. I've said this over and over again. This is nothing new! The issue we had before is that we didn't have a moderator to help us in the wee hours of the night. That's why we asked Marlywings to help us. Because we couldn't keep on top of all the problems. We would wake up to dozens of alerts every.single.morning. The rules were being broken on a constant basis and by the time we were up and ready to help, most of you were in bed.

This may seem like it's all new to some of you, but this is just normal to Websleuths. We don't do rumors. If you want to speculate, that is fine. Saying someone could very well be a sociopath is normal speculation because most men who kill their wives are found to be sociopaths. Do all sociopaths kill? No. http://www.youmeworks.com/sociopaths.html

That's just one example of speculation vs. rumor. Please don't make this harder than it is. Just use common sense.

Would it be possible to start a thread in the Elisa Lam section about the history of the Cecil Hotel, including past crimes? There's a lot of information in that area and it would be good to have a place to list it all.

Excellent idea, Godsdog.

Hi. I posted the post above with a video from the chinese? media that shows a photo of Elisa Lam taken at the Hotel Cecil that hasn't been released yet in the american media for some reason. I'm not sure where it would belong in the Elisa Lam section? Perhaps the translation thread?

Here's a good spot.
