Is there a way to add another alert reason for posting untrue information?

34. There IS a quick way to deal with misinformation

It's the way I described -- post a rebuttal as a reply, with the correct information. If you arrive in a thread, and you know that the OP contains misinformation, there is no faster way to counter that misinformation than by simply posting a rebuttal right there and then.

Beyond that, I do agree that it is a problem when misinformation OPs manage to get high up on the Greatest page. But ultimately, despite the recent to-do over Rubyshoo's posts which prompted the calls to do something, I do not believe that this is a very big problem. It is quite rare for a misinformation OP to make it all the way up the Greatest Page without being corrected by its author, once the misinformation has been pointed out by people replying.

Nevertheless, for the rare occasions when a misinformation OP does sneak past and climb the Greatest page without the poster correcting it, we may be able to come up with a fairly straightforward solution.
