I'm not sure which is worse. False accusations, stemming from a game of telephone, or people who use their Imm tag to back what they know from the start of the post is an out and out lie. IE, the reason Cyradia left. IE, Sebeok being Yanacek. IE, the Battlefield post about the lone gunman anonymous uber player...
You think we like being lied to? No, but we understand it, and more importantly we accept it for what it is.
Listen man, its the same on both sides of the fence. People on this side make stuff up, or at least get a lot of things wrong, and people on your side put outright lies out there and use their influence with their Imm tag to make it seem like truth. The information manipulation is not a one-sided thing.
We all deal with it man. We put up with being lied to, we put up with being insulted. It happens, its a reality of the internet, how exactly can we police ourselves when you're talking about anonymous people over the web with AOL IP addresses that change at every log in? We have even less tools than you do.
The only possible answer is to just accept it for what it is and not let it get to you.
Edit - added : Basically, this is a development that stems from an issue of trust. Bob tells me X played Y. Imm Z tells me X did not play Y and that Bob is a nutjob lying conspiracy theorist. It is later revealed Bob was right. Then Bob tells me that Imm Y, while playing X, abused something. Who do I trust now? I trust the guy that told me the truth the first time, and it turns into a big game of telephone.
So the best thing for everyone to do is just man up and not take it personally, have fun playing the game, and try not to argue. Thats what I'm doing, anything I post is stuff related to making the game more fun, making quests more fun, I'm not going to lash out at you for saying something that was misleading, or lash out at anyone else for that matter, because what anyone else does and says is irrelevant so long as the game is fun. Thats priority #1, above all this political stuff.
