I joined this forum because I was told it was open to all comment within reason (ie rumour / saitre / and alitle bit of niggle). I suppose I should have joined earlier when this was still allowed.
How do we self censor rumours and other snippets that come across the desk without fear of a shut out?
I suppose the Carlton Board have deemed it to be subversive.
Good question.
Firstly, our actions have nothing to do with the club. "we" as a site have no allegiance to anyone other than blues, so we won't be censoring political comment.
As individuals of course we may have particular leanings.
We are concerned about defamation, as hosts of this site, we are liable (as well as the original poster) in any defamation suit. Again, its not to say we agree or disagree with certain comments, we just have to be mindful of the law. As such, we reserve the right to pull or edit a post that we deem might put us as risk.
However, should you wish to donate a substantial amount of money to a trust fund set up to fight such legal action, we would re-consider this stance.
