rebs23's post has been edited on request, so has BohsPartisan's to remove references to his original post, the rest of the related discussion has been moved to the bin (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=52168). A commentary on the libel rule has been posted here (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=52169). Since anto1208's post crosses over, I'll add a couple of comments here, but any further comments on this issue should be posted in Support.
Stop exaggerating, no-one is asking for a "book of evidence".
You're thinking of California's Shield law. We live in Ireland. The site is hosted in Texas. And we're not publishers.
There is a disclaimer. You agreed to it when you signed up, presumably without reading it. Your decision to ignore the disclaimer and rules is your problem, not mine.
I have heard of people being sued for what they posted on Internet forums. I know forum operators that have been sued in exactly these circumstances. I've received two solicitor's letters myself.Again, that's it for discussion on this topic in this thread. If you really feel the need to reply - I think you'd be better off if you didn't - then do it in response to the commentary on the rule I linked earlier.
