On Friday 11th November a complaint was received about the content of some threads in the General Forum. Owing to the suggestion of legal action against the site owner the decision was taken to close the message board. This was to give the Administrators and Moderators time to study and review these postings in relation to the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
Upon review, it was decided there was no need to edit or remove any of the posts involved, as there had been no breach of the AUP. The message board was reopened.
Ongoing correspondence from the complainant suggests that legal action may still be taken against the site owner for alleged libellous comments made by unidentifiable forum members. To this end the Administrators and Moderators urge all members to be aware of their obligations under the AUP.
In the interests of free speech, any members wishing to comment on this matter can post messages in the following thread click here to open this thread. For legal reasons, please note that all reference to identifiable persons will not be permitted and will be edited or removed. The discussion should be in general terms.
One final note - members and guests should remember that their use of this message board is a courtesy and not a right and we would like to draw your attention to the Terms and Condition of Registration once again.
Thank You
