Okay, it's that time again where we need to get things sussed out on which "newz" sources we need to not allow on here, as it's getting out of hand again.
First and foremost, Brad Shepherd and any site he is part of is automatically not allowed on here as a source, ever. I need a list of those sites he is part of.
Beyond this guy, what other sites and sources of that nature need to be disallowed due to their general BS levels? And no, don't waste a post on Meltzer, he's not going anywhere.
I'm posting this in WWE for a reason, though it will be setting things up for all our wrestling boards.

Brad Shepard is on:
bodyslam.net
ringsidenews.com
Oh You Didn't Know Podcast
And obviously every copy-paste site that looks for salacious headlines to post without verification.

Given their role in the Shepard/Ringside News circlejerk with the Samoa Joe "suspension" and other related turkeys lately, Wrestlevotes may be running up on worth cutting off not following them personally someone else may be bette able to assess if they've actually broken any stories of value or jsut rehash bigger sites and official releases. Dirty Sheets and Sportskeeda are already shitlisted, but no harm in bringnig them back up because they've snuck back in around here and there.

Sportskeeda is definitely something we need to revisit. I assume still what they were then, right?

I want to say Wrestlingnews.co was on the list as well.

Even if Shepard wasn't on there I'd still suggest that Bodyslam get the kibosh. They've been known for circulating crap.

Wrestlevotes, Sportskeeda, Brad Shepard, Rovert, Heelbynature, Slice Wrestling, and Ringside News as sources shouldn't be allowed.
Also since it's a big name I'll explain why, Forbes.com. The problem is anyone on Forbes online is anyone can write for them and spin click bait.

Would it be easier to make a "green list" of sources that are okay to use as the basis for new threads? There's a hell of a lot more BS out there than actual reporting

WrestleVotes has been reliable before, doesn't mean they're not complete shit now though.

WrestleVotes has been reliable before, doesn't mean they're not complete shit now though. I feel like this is the cycle for a lot of accounts that pop up with insider knowledge and shit like that. Either their sources dry up and they start making stuff up or their cover gets blown and they start getting f***ed with. |

Where's the line drawn?
If Shepherd, Sportskeeda or anyone else on the blacklist report something verifiable such as "Stone Cold says his best match wasn't against Bret Hart", and said article links to a podcast excerpt where Stone Cold said exactly that, is it wrong to link?
