I think the answer is to have a BULLSHOT section, where any old posts - full of lies, misrepresentation, false facts, misinformation, propaganda and good old 100% political propaganda can be submitted and left in situ for posterity.

The rules should be simple;

No matter how preposterous the claims in such posts may be, NO ONE is allowed to challenge them.

No matter how easily disproved by GENUINE facts the False Facts in such posts may be, GENUINE FACTS will be disallowed.

Where any genuine facts may evade the vetting procedures which are in place, and actually find their way onto the threads, they will be ignored and the JURY of readers instructed to disregard the said genuine facts.

This should help alleviate the perceived problems a little.

Of course a new dictionary will have to be compiled complete with new definitions of commonly used words.

For instance:

A 'determiner' such as the word 'SOME' - which currently means 'an unspecified number' or 'partial number' when used as a pronoun - shall, when used in a sentence of facts by SOME members (no pun intended) be re- classified as meaning 'ALL' for the purposes of MISREPRESENTATION and creating unwarranted argument by other members, as in:

"Some immigrants are criminals"
"Some Muslims are extremists"
"Some Benefit Claimants are fraudsters"

Oh, nearly overlooked this:

Where genuinely true facts are used in an argument to support opinion, such facts should be disregarded if they do not hail from a Liberal Left leaning newspaper. It should not matter that these facts are mirrored in a hundred other media articles, they should STILL be dismissed and not be counted for the purposes of lending hard evidence to substantiate a viewpoint.

"What was that?" "Sorry?" "We already have a section like that?" "It' called what?" "Oh, Serious Debates & News". "Oh. Ok then... Only trying to help".
