Re: Hey mod help
said by DanHo  :Just becasue you don't like what someone posted doesn't make it something that must be moderated. You misunderstood what i wrote people insult others no matter what the Forum or subject matter they use Slander flat out and nothing is done..Which can get you sued and nothing is done about this.
Fatness i could give him posts that would make his head spin and he. would be busy 13 hrs straight.

1 edit | Obviously, you misread (or didn't bother reading) what fatness wrote. Bold for emphasis.
said by fatness :said by MHoltum :perhaps a mod checked it out and did not find it to need editing / deleting. That is usually the reason. said by Site FAQ :

Good lord! There are some forums here that wouldn't have any postings or content at all if it weren't for insults/catty comments/disagreeability/double entendre, or "pot shots". Since few, if any, people post under their real names, slander (or libel) would not be an issue. Some folks are just wa-a-a-ay too thin-skinned. That's the beauty of the system... if you don't like it, you don't have to read it. America... the land of choice, and the freedom to exercise same.

Telling someone that they have a kindergardeners grasp of the English language is NOT slander. |

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. |

That's them who are thinned skinned however this isn't the place to play School Bullies.On the Subject " freedom to exercise same" Tell this to any mod or the site owner and see what they will tell you.
People need to stop insulting others on here because you don't know what Age that person is on the other side of that Monitor.That person who knows maybe 10 yrs old and you're insulting them.

said by MHoltum :Telling someone that they have a kindergardeners grasp of the English language is NOT slander. Here's the Legal Definition
quote:
slander
A type of defamation. Slander is an untruthful oral (spoken) statement about a person that harms the person's reputation or standing in the community. Because slander is a tort (a civil wrong), the injured person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false statement. If the statement is made via broadcast media -- for example, over the radio or on TV -- it is considered libel, rather than slander, because the statement has the potential to reach a very wide audience

1 edit | I know the definition. Here is the important part: untruthful.
Also, If I state, "You are a complete tool". That is opinion. If I state, "Damn, you write like a complete retard." Again, opinion.
These statements whether true or not are not Slander or Libel, they are in fact opinion. You can not sue for slander for someones opinion. |

Here's a better definition - »www.expertlaw.com/library/person···ion.html
You have to prove damages..
If I were to say, "accusing someone of slander on a public forum makes you sound like a 10 year old", that would be an opinion, not slander.

Defamation is defined as a false statement communicated to another person that damages your reputation by exposing you to hatred, contempt, or ridicule from other people. Libel is communicating a defamatory statement by writing or picture. Slander is defamation by oral or spoken communication.
If such words were written or spoken of you, you are not defamed if the words were true. Truth is a complete defense to defamation. Even if your reputation is damaged by a defamatory communication, you cannot recover if the communication was true.
