Rumor tag being abused

Very often I come here and see a thread with a rumor tag that has no credible sources or explanations as to why the "insider" is to be believed. Many use the excuse of the rumor tag to get away with very unclear and or already common predictions of something Gaga related. I think that if a rumor thread doesn't have a link and a clear explanation as to why the insider is credible, then that thread should be immediately locked by mods. This way all rumors threads we get will at least be more possible and credible.

That's why... it's a rumor... and not news... :awkney:

But today's rumors consist of, "this certain random person said something  not specific and likely to happen". Rumors could be more credible too without them being news.

First, that tag is the best thing ever. I don't care how many times it is used, at least the first time you read the thread title your expectations will be adjusted thanks to the rumour tag.

 

Second, most of the discussions are just rumours :sweat: what are you expecting? Gaga has always had, from the beginning of her career, surprises up her sleeve. And since Gaga is very quiet lately there's not much to say that is certain. 

 

 

To be honest, I think the "opinion" tag is much, much more abused. Some "opinions" are not thread worthy, or even worthy of any attention.

I consider every single thread a rumor. That way I'm not setting myself up for disappointment.

Well I think the Opinion tag gets abused and used to hide Shade or Dragging behind an "Opinion", but I'm not making threads complaining :lana:

This. The rumor tag is the perfect setup for the thread, because it drops your expectations to an appropriate level. Also, that drag at the end :giveup:

The problem is that most of those rumors are extremely unreliable. Most of these rumors end up being calculated predictions rather than something that could happen. Reliable insiders have close ties to Gaga, radio stations, or a music label.

And I think the use of the word shade gets abused when in reality people that use this word can't handle opinions that they don't agree with.

rumors dont have to be reliable... it's a rumor if it's around and it's being said. Some will  have some truth behind them, others won't. there is no better tag for  it.
