You have no idea how big a problem this is, Dallas. Rumors that don't even make sense can be hugely damaging to a game, and for the life of me I don't understand why players do it. Sometimes rumors start for things that are clearly impossible to anyone with more than three brain cells, and circulate for months. It doesn't have to make sense as long as it makes a good soundbite.
I wish Jeremy the best in dealing with it, and can only offer the advice to shut it down hard and early, and don't be afraid to kick or ban persistent rumor mongers that won't listen.
