It would no longer be enough to misrepresent history and/or current events. "Information" gleaned from extremist right and leftwing websites would have to have their sources identified. In turn, others wishing to debate such information would be forced to provide facts (and sources of facts) to back up what they were saying.

Before long, Omni would turn into an area with intelligent debates, leaving the blind idealogues out in the cold with no place to spew their invectives. This would no longer be the Omni we all know and love!
