I am curious as to what the consensus is here regarding the various websites out there that "out" military posers.

I've recently found out about a site or two who cavalierly make these accusations without first investigating, vetting, or proving claims made anonymously by third parties.

There are two very strong tennants in the world of law and litigation... (1) Innocent until proven guilty; (2) Burden of proof falls on the accuser.

Is it a good idea to let rogue websites work outside these parameters?

Should posers get roasted? Sure. But, by whom? And what is their motivation & credibility?

Any site is only as credible as their members. Unfortunatey, there's no "web credibility police."

Accusation without proof = slander or libel depending if it's verbal or in print (web).
