Why is CDAN allowed to be posted with NO verifying links? While the topic appears to be pizzagate related, it is always in the realm of gossip/ speculation. This should have a 24 hour flair like the rest of us get. This post is not research based. Where are the photos? Is there a copy of the filed police report?

In this case, septima, CDAN itself is the supporting link for the claim made in the headline. If RagingShieldMaiden had written a title directly claiming "Rapper left human cages in rental house" there would be a problem. But the title was that a gossip blog with a history of having solid information reported he left behind cages. The link supports the title, and RSM did a good job writing an accurate title that didn't claim more than it should.

At least, that is my perspective.

One of my posts was not treated this way. My title was the actual title of the linked article. It made a key claim in the article it said was sourced from abc, however it did not give a link. I was put on 24 hr notice to find the link, AND RIGHTFULLY SO. I did provide the link and the post stayed up. I have nothing against CDAN, but I would expect equal treatment in research standards. The strength of VOAT is a well documented research post. Just my opinion.

@septimasexta, was it this quote:

Cruz told investigators he heard the strange demonic voices in his head instructing him on how to conduct the massacre, according to a report by ABC News.

I agree with @Vindicator on this. The difference is that CDAN doesn't name names when merely talking about an 'A list singer' or 'A+ list actor', it's the users who do guesses in their comments.

This is why OP said 'comments lean toward...'

The quote you cited, however, named a specific person, and in this case it is important to establish the source of the quote.

Rule 2: Empiricism: EACH factual claim that is not common knowledge must be sourced with a link.

But the CDAN blinds are not factual claims, they claim to be nothing more than gossip, and they don't point out the person's names.

@Vindicator

I would suggest to bring this up again when we'll have our rules discussion in the near future.
