PSXHAX.COM Update on Clickbait / Fake News / Rumors Handling

Howdy all! Up until today the way news was reported here at PSXHAX.COM consisted of users posting what they want in the Forums or Shoutbox, and then the Staff would move their posts to the main page for everyone to read and discuss.

Since PSXHAX.COM opened 17 months ago that simple system contributed to over 800 articles with a handful of snafus along the way, most notably the @GTAWWEKID PS4 2.50 exploit deemed fake and @racer0018's PS4 4.50 Beta Linux claim that was never substantiated.

It has come to our attention a warning has been put on Se7enSins.com stating the following:

"Please be aware that posts containing psxhax as a source for tools, homebrew, news, and misc information will be removed as this site is known to spread fake information, exploit', and brickware."

This PSXHAX warning is no longer accurate as of today, so if anyone is a member there it would be great if you can link them to this article which reassures their members and Staff that we are proactively addressing their concerns, effective immediately.

PSXHAX.COM Action Guidelines as of March 15, 2017:

• We have removed the @GTAWWEKID and @racer0018 problem threads and will continue to do so should any new ones surface.

• Any reported news that can't be substantiated (Sony rumors, for example) will contain the word 'Rumor' in the article title to ensure the headline accurately and clearly indicates the article's content as such.

• Forum user-submitted news will NOT be mainpaged without reasonable proof as determined by the community including pictures, videos or code documentation to validate their claims or work.

• Everyone from the current Staff except myself has been removed for the time being, so that we can properly retrain all selected Moderators before giving them permission to promote news here.

Finally, if we've missed anything with regards to these new guidelines or if you feel an article here still contains Clickbait / Fake News / Rumors let us know via Email, the Comments, Private Messaging or Twitter and we'll either remove it from the site or label it accordingly as detailed above and THANKS in advance for your help!

I will do my absolute best to never let you all down again, and I truly hope @racer0018 will return and won't let us down either.

When he swore on his son's life that got to me... knowing his mom passed away recently, reminding me how important life is and that I'm blessed to still have my aging mom here, so this is my final plea to @racer0018 to make things right somehow.

Almost everyone here trusted in you including me, I put this entire site's reputation on the line and with not even a shred of evidence or proof in return so please if you have something SHOW IT and if you don't be man enough to ADMIT IT... that's all we ask.

Either way this will NEVER happen again as long as I'm here.

Exactly my thoughts. I am not forgetting even though the threads have been deleted, I want a final answer from @racer0018 even if it all was bullsh!t. I am still hoping my the more time it takes the more i come to think that he didnt have anything after all.

Well it's about time. Good on you mate. I might actually come out of the woodwork now and post more often

 

[misiozol]

That can only come in time, by implementing stricter rules and tighter moderation at least we're heading in the right direction now

And what I was saying ? did it had to come to this ? Shame now all mods have been thrown in same bin and are treated as 10year old's retards , have I ever posted any garbage ? only good and confirmed news that did check out NOT EVEN ONE RUMOR as I despise rumors , what a waste

Well it's about time. Good on you mate. I might actually come out of the woodwork now and post more often

I had exactly the same thought when reading the initial post..

thank you

In Russian communities nobody posts links on this site after Linux 4.50.
Too many fakes.

I gotta say, all puta merda aside, there are some really awesome people on this site. Plenty of guys on here would take time out of their day to help someone for nothing in return. I don't want to mention specific names, but they know who they are. And psxhax specifically has never been anything but friendly and helpful.

And hell, even the trolls put a smile on my face from time to time. I understand how frustrating it can be, especially in a day and age when information is usually available to you as soon as the question pops into your head. A good quote to help you through this is from the Shawshank Redemption. "Get busy living, or get busy dying".

How you interpret that is up to you, but the way i see it, the only way you can get angry is if you allow yourself to be. You have the choice to decide whether you are living or dying. If doing something about it makes you feel alive, by all means, do something. For me, the idea that i they are one in the same is enough for me. i choose to live, therefore I am.

Peace

Good u don't want to end up getting pwned by The Donald like that CNN guy for spreading fake news.

Obviously racer is a troll with no life for posting fake exploit news that was paragraphs long. He's probably fapping to all the hate comments as we speak.
