I think what should happen is that everyone should just be quiet and just not say anything. Even if what you get from your source is really trustworthy we should all be quiet and let the next few months of announcements flow rather than "IT ISN'T COMING TO HHN2018 LOST BOYS IS." Just everyone needs to shut up.
I think a problem when it comes to that, is that you are dealing with a thread that actively changes and evolves over time, with varying individuals wanting to know more of the event, and if that is done, then that may cause more problems than it does answers.
Do I think it's flawed? Yes, but that there needs to be a better solution than "Hey, why don't we make people be quiet?". I would argue even, it'd alienate some of those on the forum, and those looking to contribute to Inside Universal's forums.
I do agree, that things need to be changed. And that I will fully come out in blame of the bit of hell that I caused the forum to go into for a period of time, but that muting people is not the answer to any situation.
I think it chalks more to that people need to stop believing everything that is said, as not everyone has things said on the right angle. Hell, I've made mistakes that have haunted me, in not just saying tidbits of HHN, but just in general for Themed Entertainment.

This year, proves as an interesting period of time, as it isn't really that big for the parks to begin with. We don't see activity as large as it should be, especially considering since the move from USHForums to Inside Universal. And while I would love for people to start posting more at USH, I know that's sometimes unreasonable.
Halloween Horror Nights, is one of the most popular events in SoCal, and it is sure to attract thousands of different people, wanting to see unique and different experiences. And that we should celebrate, speculate, and discuss what we would like to see.
Just my two cents, and I fully expect you or someone else to bark at me for sharing that.
While I agree speculation isn’t the same, Murdy and A&D need to calm down about the leaks. Only 1%, if that, of the entire crowd care about the line up.
To say this, while I agree that it's still a minority, it isn't just 1%.
Rumors are a fascinating sort. It's something that can happen anywhere, you just have to look hard enough.
Although, it doesn't help when you are on a highly notable forum for previous leaks and rumors of not just Halloween Horror Nights, but various other projects from across the globe.
