Dodgy news posts MUST stop!

I remember either this week or last there was a post about a Doom 3 leak which was FAKE. There was no recent beta leak at all it was all fake, no idea which news reporter reported it but it was all a big joke! Any chance this can be stopped in the future and keep to the REAL news.

btw:
This is just rumor !!!
I am currently reading on http://www.winfuture.de/ that another Doom 3 beta should float around in IRC and FTP servers - but no proof for that.


RUMOR !!!

its not a rumor its FAKE! there was only a alpha release which was last year. There has been no leak!!! Its not just some kid of the street saying this i know BECAUSE if there was it would be all over the net and alsorts of stuff would be popping up.

But yeah hats off to the 'special' person who started the rumours off! Its sure going to make Doom 3 even more popular.

BTW there is NEVER any proof if it hasnt been released. IF it has been released there is plenty of proof but atm there is non :P

ok...found that on Winbeta:

http://www.winfuture.de/news,13423.html (german)

"Update: Es handelt sich nicht um eine neue Version von Doom III sondern um die geleakte Alpha von der E3, allerdings mit einigen Verbesserungen. So wurden die zahlreichen Patches integriert, die nach dem Leak im Internet aufgetaucht sind. Bei den neuen Maps handelt es sich um Fan-Projekte, also keine offiziellen Maps. Weiterhin liegt der Nvidia Detonator 41.09 bei um einige Grafikprobleme zu beheben."

"Update (19:24Uhr): Wie wir nun mit 100%iger Sicherheit sagen können, handelt es sich bei der "Doom3 Beta" glücklicherweise um ein FAKE! Es ist lediglich die Alpha Version die mit zahlreichen Custom Maps auf diese Größe aufgebläht wurde. Also Entwarnung für alle Fans!"

Isn't the very definition of "rumor" something that can or can not be true? If so something thats fake can be a rumor.

ru·mor ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rmr)
n.
1. A piece of unverified information of uncertain origin usually spread by word of mouth.
2. Unverified information received from another; hearsay.

That's right. Unverified. If its fake it can still be a rumor :P

but there were facts when the rumour came out hence why did warp2search have to jump onto the bandwagon when it was fake?

Because he said and stressed it was a rumor and then said it wasn't actually true and explained it was a repack?

but why did this type of thing appear on warp? Also what is even dodgy is how the news was copied and pasted!

I posted this one here

there is a barrier ... do not step over it ... NF is holy! the only fault you could say anything against him would be - delete W2S - anything else is right
