Sadly there has to be censorship of some kind these days sometimes....

The law seems to hold the forum operators responsible where libelous stuff is not dealt with, ie where someone posts a libelous post on the site and it is just left there and not dealt with. I think readin between the lines as long as the MT/WT/Club are seen to delete said posts then they have upheld their responsibility......

On a simple basis correct. What it doesn't do is relieve the original poster of their liability for what they have written. Assuming of course that it was in the 1st places incorrect/seditious/libelous or anything else that someone else doesn't like!

That will be an improvement then - I have only ever once had a post removed (which I don't believe deserved it, but that's another story), but I didn't receive any PM or communication from whoever deleted it - it just disappeared. And I don't believe I'm a contentious poster in any way shape or form

This post by Ozz earlier is very useful:

http://www.ukaop.org.uk/cgi-bin/go.p...category_uid=2

While the two links in the very first post should be born in mind too I feel.

Thankfully, moderating and removing posts here is becoming a much more rare occassion than it use to be. The forum rules and the constitution cover most eventualities for us but, its obvious that legislation is struggling to keep apace with many aspects of the virtual world.
