A call for a Deep Research forum
This is a very peaceful method and allows people to look at what they want. Moderators could have the ability to place topics they feel as not complete or need to be clarified more into the group. It would allow those who want to look up a subject and those who don't to know it isn't complete to be informed.

A disclaimer could be placed at the top or some place that says: Warning the information provided has not yet been proven. Please be cautious.

A How to guide on researching subjects could be provided by the moderators. Users of the forum could also set up some guidelines as well to help others.

What all forms of current US media (online included) WOULD NEVER DO: provide a disclaimer which would read, oh, something like:

"Warning the information provided has not yet been proven. Please be cautious."

then WITH disclaimer, one would be able to drill a message on home anyway, so that hopefully, a) some people MIGHT participate, or, b) you'd have unlimited access to "an audience", however flimsy your methods may be, all the while your intentions being rather dodgy in the first place?

Not interested.

2. which would also give the people the ability to debunk it as well
A disclaimer could be modified to what the moderators feel is best for debunking and also providing research. Meaning they would still have control. The guidelines are there for that fact as well to keep people within the facts.
