How is this kind of RP allowed?

[Diablo666Daemon666]

"Canon" for Freelancer stopped after Trent and co stopped the Nomads.
Everything else is new, and made up by others. Albeit, in a very good way.

Nobody has the right to say whether this or that is "canon" or not, as nobody really knows whether it is.

Example: Gallia. As if people were exploring Sirius all this time and NOBODY ever noticed Gallia?
Therefore, Gallia isn't really canon, is it?

Also, as all our characters essentially exist AFTER the events of Trent, surely people would already know some of what that post said?
Even from an RP standpoint, no character (even an NPC) is a total oblivious idiot.
Rumours would circulate, sometimes perpetuated by The Order, sometimes passed on from others.

As an example, during Trent's story, even some people in Kusari must have heard about the attack on the Donau...?
Bretonians would have heard about the Liberty President being captured and rescued...
Hell, people would even know what happened at the end with the Nomads.

So, making a post "revealing" stuff that people MAY already know (or think they know) isn't really an issue.
It can be put down as rumour and hearsay, or can be treated as an in-RP Info Leak.

To me, it doesn't warrant a 12 page discussion about how it is bad/good/canon/whatever.
