I am sorry but posting links to some random persons twitter page and saying 'reports are saying' is not gonna fly
 
Jon, didn't you see the news? BGHP is reporting that Morehouse/Hlas are reporting that Hampton updated his facebook status. This is hard-hitting journalism that you cannot ignore!

Oh really. Interesting. Both channels 8 and 13 are now using internet social media such as facebook to report things like Hampton being a "former" player.

Also...

does this still apply if said twitterer(?) is a friend of said poster. Even more rock solid, what if said twitterer is a friend that said poster trusts. I won't even ask if said poster knows that said twitterer is "close to the program" still disqualifies, as I know this certainly wouldn't be a questionable source.
 
Jon,

While I agree that these aren't reports there is just too much smoke for some of this not have traction. I assume you agree which is why you havent been deleting threads on this.

I think the only reasonable stance to take is that probably somewhere between 50 and 75 percent of what's being reported right now is true, it's just a question of what 50% that is.
 
These "news" outlets need to get a life. There is NOTHING about Jewel's status that indicates he's off the team. In fact, it's much more likely he's making fun of the rumors... especially considering A-Rob's comments to the page. If he was still on the team (ARob) he wouldn't be posting to a guy that just got booted.
 
Jon has been very clear and fair in this regard. He posted last night that referencing Jewel Hampton's FB update is MUCH different than referencing tweets mentioning other players BY NAME and making statements or insinuations that they had done this or that. I think Jon's position seems pretty reasonable to me as he is trying to maintain some level of standards for HIS website.

Why, they are still friends. You just stop talking to friends if they move away or get fired. I don't.

I think he is also referring to some other threads with twiter links that were posted late, late last night. Also It's BHGP.
 
What's sad is you even have to say this. The stock people put into anonymous rambling on the interweb is amazing. Not saying all of it is false, but more often than not it's mostly bunk.

They are not saying @hawksnot is reporting xyxa

If a player posts something with his own facebook or twitter, that is different. Random people is what I am talking about

No, what I'm referencing is that KF has a very strict policy for this kind of stuff. If you are still on the team and your buddy just got booted and it involves drugs and probably is tied to DJK, I really doubt KF is going to put up with you commenting on this.

Just my opinion, but I don't think it's a good idea to assume what another person is thinking just because they haven't done something. Perhaps that's just because I'm not an accomplished mind reader myself.

Wrong. You don't see the posts I do delete..because they are removed.

And to elaborate on that, who's to say a person's FB or Twitter account isn't a cryptic message anyway.
 
We live in an era where "rap" is considered "music", Paris Hilton is considered a "celebrity" and reality TV idiots are considered "stars"...is it any wonder many consider a tweet or anonymous posting on a chat forum a "report"?

Society as we know it, is truly doomed.

Rap isn't exactly music, but it is great art (depending on which artist you're talking about).
