CR0 is the lowest ranking on the Canon Rumors rating scale. This rating is assigned to information that has been vetted and proven to be false rumors, jokes or simply inaccurate information. You should read anything with this rating with an understanding that the information is false. These listings are frequently left on the site to help dispel the myths in the event that the rumor appears elsewhere on other photography sites.
CR1
-
A rating of CR1 indicates that the information posted was provided by a source that does not have a proven history with the site. To qualify for the CR1 rating, the rumor must be plausible. This rating applies to posts only until the information is proven accurate or false based on research done by Canon Rumors. If the information is proven to be false, the rating changes to CR0. Any rumor that is verified as accurate receives an updated accurate rating.

CR2
-
When a verified source with a longstanding history provides information that seems legitimate, the post is labeled with a CR2 rating. This indicates that the information comes from a reliable source and is likely to be true. Like other ratings, if the information is proven to be incorrect, the rating is changed to reflect that fact.
CR3
-
CR3 is the top rating on the reliability scale of Canon Rumors. This is a rating assigned to posts that have been verified to be true or are so likely to be accurate that the site considers them factual. Canon Rumors assigns the CR3 rating only with the utmost confidence in the information, but if the rumor is later proven false, the rating is adjusted accordingly.
