DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!
Hi all, GamingShogun here. By now you have no doubt heard that there are a few sites out there detailing what seems to be the meat and potatoes of the rumored next expansion to World of Warcraft, Cataclysm. I have always had an issue about disclosing game secrets before they are ready. I have the same issues about reporting on games that get pirated onto the web before their street dates, but I digress.
These spoilers ruin the work of thousands of industry professionals as well as make the cash these companies spend on marketing campaigns amount to nothing. Why should they bother creating events that are fun and exciting for gamers to follow (such as Blizzard's Diablo III reveal) if the details of their secret products are just going to be leaked anyway?
While mentioning that much of the information on these offending sites, none of which shall be named here, seems to be the work of an internal leak is newsworthy and worth discussing, you will find no spoilers here. Move along, spoiler-boy....

We have sent Blizzard Entertainment an official request for comment on this matter. Stay tuned for more information as it develops.
*UPDATE - Blizzard seems to have a information cap on the matter right now as their official response to our inquiries were met with the standard , 'We appreciate the inquiry; however, we haven’t made any new announcements regarding World of Warcraft or future expansions and don’t comment on rumors or speculation.' More to come as it breaks!
