A rule against false information and click baits

Here is another idea to you good people.  

To mute for a week, in repetition for a month, or banning if a third time happens:

People who give wrong information to newbies as "only paying members may castle or capture en passant",  or else "Buy lots of books of openings, and start with the KID",  or even worst "you are allowed to use an engine during your online games".  or click baits with some weird title like "Magnus Carlsen is dead"or something like this, that makes one wants to click just to see nonsense and waste of time.  

 

Joking is fine, Amusement is always welcome, but there is a proper topic (fun with chess)  to do this kind of thing.  I mean fun and amusing posts, not weird false announcements as to try to get attention (get some professional help if needed).

 

Well, that's my idea, good staff.

Tbh, this forum is clickbait to me. All forums are clickbait to the right/wrong person. But I agree with you mostly.
