These are the rules that ALL agents agreed to when becoming a RMN agent. Posting messages without content is rude to the reader who wastes their time and effort to click on them. Hobie has mentioned this more then once..

Snip of the agreement page.

In other words, Rumor Mill News Reading Room posts must adhere to the format of this website,

Things that are not allowed:

Porn, cartoon porn, sexually charged images

Obscenities or sexually charged language!

Links to Pornographic webpages

Internet "graffitti"

Name calling

Slander

Hate for hate's sake

Mean spirited attacks on Rumor Mill News or its publisher... (this does not mean you cannot disagree, but do it politely.)

Mean spirited attacks on the investigators and researchers who post in the RMNews Reading Room.

Posts with nothing but a link are not allowed.

Posts devoid of content are not allowed.

If you disagree with something that is said, you can either e-mail the author or post information which gives another point of view. The purposeful trashing and smearing of another researcher will not be allowed.

No Ad Hominem attacks... you can attack the work... NOT the person!!

If you do attack the work, please do it in a professional way... not a bitter, mean spirited way!

You cannot bypass this rule by violating the letter of the law and having readers do your attacking for you! No posting reader emails that are ad hominem attacks!!

Agents who ONLY post to attack other agents will quickly be banned!

No personal Vendettas against private citizens. Private citizens CAN and DO sue when they are libeled! The difference between a public figure and a private citizen should be fairly obvious! If there is a grey area, RMN will come down on the side of NOT posting anything that can be deemed slanderous or libelous.

You can NOT bring problems from other sites to Rumor Mill News. If you are having problems with other alternative sites, whether they be radio, print or web, you can NOT bring your problems from these other sites to Rumor Mill News.

You can NOT post for BANNED, RESIGNED or EX-AGENTS without FIRST clearing EACH post with RMN Admin!

No outright LIES about anyone, public OR private!
