There was some commotion over the weekend in the "
Science" category regarding misinformation and fact checking.
To cover any issues that may arise in the future, we have amended the
Site Rules. We have also amended the introduction for the "
Science" category.
We have added the following text to the "Science" category introduction:
"Whilst discussions and debates are encouraged, The AnswerBank reserves the right to remove answers that are misleading, e.g. by implying that a statement is a scientific theory or law when it is not, especially when such answers may impact personal health choices.
The AnswerBank makes no claim regarding the scientific accuracy of any post (question or answer) made by a member."
We have added the following text to the Site Rules:
"The AnswerBank also reserves the right to remove any false or misleading information, especially in the Law, Body & Soul and Science categories."
