My Disappointment

[yfin]

Wouldn't it be easier to pass the responsibility onto the poster and remove any responsibility from ozhonda's plate?

i'm sure its possible. Why do you think contracts are pages upon pages in length. they're not just outling the act again, they stipulating requirements and drawing lines of responsibility.

I should know, every job i do i have to sign a contract.

Too many bush lawyers on this forum. Those terms and conditions are designed to protect the operator of this site to the extent possible already. But it is not 100% protection.

If you were operating a forum like this and not doing it to make money (just cover your costs) would you like to receive this document delivered by a process server?

Seriously mate. Read it carefully. Would you want that to happen? Perhaps you have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on lawyers or perhaps you don't care if you have to sell your house or be bankrupt by losing the case. The case could be complete bs or even not legally founded. But you still have to fight it or settle.

Scary enough? I think it is.

It honestly is not about freedom of speech. The moderators are not "editors" of your posts. They just remove posts that are contrary to the rules if they see them.

What is important is ensuring - to the extent reasonably possible - that the operator of this web site does not get drawn in to a shit fight because a member wants to publicly defame another person or business.
