Local Rumors and Criminal Activity

Hello gang, I have started a new heading under the Octagon (since it is members only) that I called "Local Rumors and Criminal Activity". I think this sort of chat is best kept in the members only section. I ask that if you want to post anything that is a rumor, hearsay, you heard it from your Gardener, etc. that you post it in this part of the board. I am open to comments or other suggestions.......

That´s a good idea, CB. As members get used to the assignment of, as yet, unconfirmed rumors to the Octagon, this rumor mill will perform a useful function as a conduit for early warnings of possible events in the community and these threads can be moved back to the "mirador" if later confirmed as true depictions of events. This re-assignment of rumors to the Octagon is a superior solution to simply deleting postings because they remain unconfirmed and I congratulate you on a reasonable solution to separating confirmed fact from possible fiction.

....and I don't want guests who may be surfing the net for info on Lake Chapala to get scared off by the sort of unsubstantiated stuff.

Gotta agree.

Now, for sheer irony.........how about that recent thread (as of yesterday) on TOB with folks suggesting they have a political matters section over there? Instead of finding a pressure cooker, some people want to create one?

Great idea Bob.
