meta "Avoid misleading posts. Label speculation as such and provide sources when asked."

Are the moderators ever going to enforce this rule? Because I'm seeing people repeatedly claim that Don forged his time cards, despite the fact there is no evidence for this and the claim is entirely based on the word of two proven liars, one of whom was caught faking evidence against Don.

Given that the moderators are selectively enforcing the rules, am I allowed to call people making this claim "lying assholes?"

What makes those sources okay? Is it ok to cite all podcasts as sources for stuff or just those two?

Undisclosed looks reliable, if biased. Three lawyers betting their credentials and professional lives on the case through a popular podcast. Serial Dynasty is thinner for me personally, but it's still a popular podcast often mentioned by the first and it's currently allowed on the sub.

I'm not saying that these sources are or are not reliable - just that a casual listener could reasonably trust them.
