Hey guys sorry to intrude with yet again with more "official blah blah blah" but basically almost all social media are hammering on any kind of willful promotion of falsehood related to Covid19. They are banning people, warning posters,closing accounts, ect..They are all doing it, Facebook, Youtube ect.. Here in EFC Proboards hosts our forum and has a similar policy as the other mass media company. So keep that in mind when posting anything related to Covid19 it must not appear as a willful dissimilation of false information. Meaning the post cannot appear as if you are promoting misleading/false info on the coronavirus. In that way your material doesn't unnecessarily get removed or your posts edited/moderated or the thread locked. Again my apologies on this, I know it sounds like censorship (and it probably is) but the fact remains is that we too have abide by the ToS (Terms Of Service) and other regulations imposed on our forum. Here are some links recommended by the Proboards staff that can help you learn more about Covid19: World Health OrganizationUSCDCEU CDCJohn Hopkins Corona Virus Resource CenterHarvard HealthSimulation: Flattening the curve with social distancingCan we stray from the mainstream opinion with reliable evidence to support? |

I think what they are telling us is exactly the opposite of what you wrote.
In other words if it's not mainstream scientific and medical thoughts it's not reliable.

Less of a conspiracy theory and more of a fact that most people don't realize. Publicity about Area 51 is allowed and encouraged so that nobody bothers to ask questions about "area 52"

I think all these media companies are just scared of getting in legal trouble if they allow deviations of thoughts from the official lines because people are dying and these businesses don't want to be perceived as being a contributing factor in these deaths.

Who knows about "The Man from Taured"? It is a story of a man who checked in at the Tokyo airport in the 1950s. When the passport authorities checked his passport, everything was legit, except for the country name, which says - "Taured". When the officials asked where is Taured, the man pointed to a place between the French-Spanish border, which is the present day country - Andorra. When they contacted to a higher official, he said them to hold him in a hotel room with his papers. When they left him in the hotel room and came back to check him, he was gone, never to be seen again. Even the papers were not there. I think it must have been a man from other dimension.

Some of the most powerful men in America are in a secret society that meets at a place called Bohemian Grove where they engage in weird rituals.

Ok so I got a couple mails asking if the topic is killed or if the thread is locked. The thread is not locked atm, I am simply asking people to be mindful when posting about covid 19. So what does this means in practice? I take it to mean that we can share and post on the topic we just need to make sure we don't present our own opinions as facts, or quote sources that are not considered authoritative and use that to contradict what the scientific and medical experts are telling us. IE:The short answer in what they are telling us is: Don't spread crazy ideas and try to pass them as truth. That's not a worry from me, I abide by the words of experts like Dr Fauci or WHO and respect a sites ToS, but I must point out that while they are trusted sources, information from them about the virus can change at any moment the more we learn about it. This seems to be a problem with some people as they think once the knowledge changes the information, they deem the previous statements as false or lying. Basically my point is i hope people won't confuse evolving facts from experts vs alternative facts from lunatics. |

Basically my point is i hope people won't confuse evolving facts from experts vs alternative facts from lunatics. I agree completely, my personal opinion is that that entire state of affairs is just plain non-sense. Science itself isnt like some immovable unchangeable mountain, it evolves and changes over time with newly discovered factors and better applications of improved theories and concepts. And who exactly is qualified to make educated decisions on best practices and medical concepts on a brand new phenomenon? Almost no one is (and certainly not the staff of EFC, sadly we have no recent medical nobel prize winners recruited yet  ). Even the scientists often disagree among themselves on how to proceed one has only to look around the world and see that different countries have widely different methods of approaching this problem. Having said that we still have to make an effort to follow through on this policy even as it's very difficult to consistently and fairly draw the line and objectively enforce these guidelines that have been imposed on us. |

I completely agree. Because you must have some basic minimum sense to differentiate from fake stories and the real stories. "Even the scientists often disagree among themselves on how to proceed one has only to look around the world and see that different countries have widely different methods of approaching this problem." - This is exactly true. There are multiple different ways to look at the problem and the possible solution. Moreover, it isn't that hard to differentiate from the fake news and the real ones. All you need is just a bit of common sense. I found an interesting way to differentiate between Real and fake news. Hope this helps - www.mindtools.com/pages/article/fake-news.htmBut hey, that does not means that this thread ends here |
