Unscheduled outage 21-22 September

The "Problematic Posts" were made aware to the user (me) as I was privy to the threats and such, as well as being the victim, or at least one of. The complainant also attempted to defame me through rather slanderous associations. All I did was advise our users that a singular anonymous user was posing as various individuals in order to improve the apparent reputation of a company reference also posted by the complainant.

I also made very general comments to the effect that people should always be very careful about joining an agency and to do their research before signing anything. The complainant took personal offence and after some to and fro statements, threats, slanderous associations on other sites (as well as here), then brought in a "lawyer", at which point, as per the legal advice offered to the Site Admin, certain comments were adjusted to remove the majority of their content, which included a large number of general advice comments I had personally posted.

I was involved in all aspects of this process. The point I think Grant was trying to make is that relative to the number of posts made on this site, the number that have "caused offence" or been the subject of legal concerns is incredibly small, fractional even. The fact that many of them are mine is representative as to the overall impact they have had.

Absit invidia (and DFT :nono:)
