I’ll just make a new one (this isn’t oc) when I get home but that’ll be 10h at least. It’s OK to nuke this since it is sorta misinfo, although I didn’t know it when I posted it
…the precedent that people are allowed to make minor mistakes? Gasp THE HORROR
Seriously, this mistake isn’t a big deal, no intentional misdirection and in any case, the quote is more important for conversation than the actual author.
I think the objection here is that it creates a massive loophole: Intentionally post misinformation, claim you thought it was legitimate. Repeat until you stop getting the benefit of the doubt, start over with a new account, repeat ad infinitum.
I’m not sure what the best solution is, but I think we at least need some kind of very clear notice, on the feed page and not just in the comments, that the content is proven to be factually incorrect.
This has been reported for violating rule 2: “No misinformation”, as the quote was misattributed.
The full rule:
OP admitted they didn’t double check the author of the quote. This means it was not intentional.
Leaving it up.

Nah. That would nuke all the back-and-forth found here. I’d rather keep the discussion up.
not a good reason to leave it up. Think about the precedent that sets.
wait. You saw this comment, and reported it anyways?

It wasn’t intentional, FFS. I hate this place so much.
