Can we please ban posts that are little more than unsubstantiated rumours?
Keep seeing posts that are fully just “I heard from a guy that heard from a friend who heard from a co-worker that HL3 comes out with the Steam Machine” as the full post
Sometimes links to whole “news” (used very fucking loosely) articles that are the exact same thing
Agreed.
On the other hand thats how the internet worked since forever. I started to just ignore HL3 “leaks” 15 years ago. If you care about a certain topic its pretty easy to rule out the one or two annoying “leakers” which made “leaking” their profession. I would appreciate it if somebody else would prefilter this shit. But tbh i can manage on myself. Like its annoying that especially these posts gain a lot traction because they play with the “needs” and “wants” of the general populace. But sometimes its just easier to put on your big boy/girl shoes on and just deal with it. Best part: dealing with it is just a mental :thumbs up: and then forgetting about it.
I mean, you’re 1000% correct, but sometimes if you’re lucky bringing it up with mods is enough for them to go “y’know what? Yeah, I agree”
