Sabotage and mis-information should be bananable offences?

There is a difference between being misinformed and intentionally misinforming others.  Especially with the intent of inciting frustration in others.

One is understandable.  The other should be worthy of a ban.

"Take, for example, the debacle of UE4 on the WiiU."

so who is misinformed and intentionally missleading?  you have some people taking the fact that epic will not support wiiU with UE4 to presume that wiiU will not have any substantial third party support in the future.  you have others taking the fact that UE4 is scalable to presume that wiiU will still get substantial third party support.

 

listen.  in the bad old days there were a bans against users for stating things that at the time seemed like "misinformation" and in the end turned out to be truth.  i don't want to go back to that.  sorry, but i don't trust any of our mods to enforce that kind of a rule.  it will instantly lead to abuse in power and a sucky, shitty, terrible community. ..again.

I'm not talking about a ban on misinformation by itself but misinformation with the intention of frustrating others.   If you post info that turns out to be wrong later on, well, that sucks but certainly not something to be banned for.  If we all had perfect foresight, we'd nail the predictions threads every week.
