I see plenty of threads that start with a rather bold statement fo things that apparently happened one way or another, but often lack any source or a source even remotely credible.
I think it'd be only proper to infracted people for not including a source when making bold statements to start a thread. Because without a source, one or more, some threads are little else but flamebait or nation bashing when anyone, with nothing to back them up, can say anything they want and claim it's news.
