(a)Who decides if something posted on this website is defamatory?
(b)What qualifications do they have to do so?
(c)Who is said to have been defamed?
(c)Since when has it been policy of this website to remove a post on the grounds of "defamatory information" anyway?
If we all knew that we could have a post removed just by claiming that it contained defamatory material and requesting its removal, I suggest that there would be very little left on here. Also, it should be borne in mind that TRUTH is a complete defence to a claim of defamation.
Come on 'Administrator' - let's have your reasons and satisfy our curiousity.Puzzled

(a) I sincerely don't believe anything posted on this website can constitute defamation. But I will act, as a matter of courtesy, on specific complaints regarding allegations of defamatory content.
(b) No decision involved, no qualifications required.
(c) Usually, by implication, the complainant.
(d) Always. Please read the disclaimer (under the about menu).
You are correct regarding the possible implications of this policy. Thanks for drawing that to everyone's attention.
;-)
Cheers

And your point is...?
Fri, 13 Feb 2009, 08:33 pmOn 13/02/09, Administrator wrote (about a posting on the review page from one Walter Pinkshirt):
"This post removed by the administrator 13/2/2009 at the request of Greg Ross for reason defamatory information."
Thus, if my assumption was incorrect, as Mr Ross now claims, it was nevertheless based on a very reliable source.
Apart from defending his chastity, Mr Ross still hasn't explained why this post, among thousands of personal attacks on this website (quite a few proudly authored by Mr Ross himself) was so heinous as to have to have been removed by the site nazi :)
I am led to wonder if there is any connection between this incident and the strange disappearance from this site of Mr Ross' recent review of 'Dralion' (attacked by Mr Pinkshirt for not having included a declaration of vested interest)? Is it possible that Mr (or Ms) Pinkshirt made a further embarrassing accusation of misuse of the review page for blatant publicity purposes? If so, surely a simple denial would have sufficed?
Finally, could someone please tell Mr Ross that I am not his 'son' (thank Christ!)?
