PSA: Don't post important information without a credible source - You will be banned
As titled, and I believe this is quite self-explanatory in the face of what's happening in the world right now.
Spreading inaccurate or false information is incredibly irresponsible.
You will not only go against HWZ and SPH rules, but that of the Singapore law.
Be responsible or face the consequences.
Thank you.

Dear HWZ members,
As the HardwareZone forum is a major discussion platform, we would like to remind all forum users that they are obligated to follow the Terms and Conditions of use of the forum platform, as well as the HWZ Forum Content Policy.
It is crucial that each user takes responsibility for their comments and forum posts. The latest updates on Covid or any other significant event are valuable to us all. However, it is equally vital that we prevent unverified false information from spreading within our community. We must all refrain from sharing unverified and speculative comments, falsehoods, and misinformation to avoid any unintended consequences that may arise from inaccurate information. This principle and consideration apply to all topics and discussions.
It is also essential to clearly mark the type of your post you intend to start:-
Title Examples:- “[Opinion] Xx Yy Zz”, or “Mr.Potato: Don’t worry, be happy”
Moderators reserve the right to issue infractions and remove posts/threads that might mislead readers and don’t include sources. Depending on the severity of the post, users may be permanently banned too.
============================================================
Further notes: Posting responsibly during the Singapore General Elections Period
============================================================
Upon the issuance of the writ of elections, please be advised that all of the following discussion types are disallowed for the duration of the election period, and offending threads/posts will be removed: -
1. Polls/surveys of political parties
This means that once it is announced that the election is open, you cannot do a straw poll of how the voters in a particular constituency may vote, whether such a poll is done over the telephone or in person. This is because the poll results might influence the voters.
2. Statements, forecasts and estimates of voting that may affect voting results
3. Political advertisements
For any further feedback or concerns, please kindly use the Report Post function within the respective forum post. You may also write in to inform the community manager at hwzmembership@sph.com.sg.
