It's a catch 22 because we have the freedom of speech, and information like that is considered public information, but DragVA can still be liable for something that might happen to this kid.. All it takes is a good attorney. I feel that the legal system is made up of a good portion of politics, more than anything else in some situations.
I believe the whole liability issue is probably why the rules in SPO clearly state that posting up personal information and/or threats is grounds for immediate banning. I can't speak on Sung's behalf, or any of the admins/mods, but I know that I wouldn't want to be liable for someone elses actions just because I was providing a cool place to spend time and converse with friends on the internet.. and with that said, I don't want anyone to flush this forum down the toilet because other people took it upon themselves to hurt someone who ripped them off, causing the forum to directly or indirectly vanish. I don't know if that even made sense the way I said it, but I'm assuming you get where I'm coming from with that.
I'll stay out of it.. Carry on, fellas. Just encouraging you to make wise decisions that you won't regret later.
well there you go then if those are the rules of spo i guess he should be banned. i haven’t read all the rules on spo due to i've never started a thread in that section. guess i should have read them before spouting off.
and with the free speech and public forums on the internet argument, that’s a whole other field in the legal system, one in which is lacking in knowledgeable attorneys. if someone wanted to take admin to court with a print out of this thread it would prob come down to who has the best lawyer. either way, guess it’s of no concern to me, ill step away from the keyboard now.
