Stumble upon a good thread : Be careful not to post defamatory stuff!

[cyclone]

Today I stumbled upon a good thread in NextInsight.net and I'd like to share with forummers.
QUOTE:
Hi, whether you post on Facebook, Twitter or any forum, be careful that you do not get yourself into hot soup later.
Don't post, for example:

1. CEO ABC is a crook who has been siphoning off the company's $.

2. The company's cash is non-existent, it's a fraud.

Clearly, these are defamatory. If there is a legal demand for the particulars of the poster, any website owner will be obliged to hand over the particulars.

We are comfortable with 99.9% of the posts we have sighted on this forum so far and have not moderated them at all. So please, collectively we should uphold the insightful / balanced / interesting sharing of views -- and avert the possibility of a legal letter being shot from an aggrieved listed company.

Thank you!

I'd also like to add other examples :
3. Management XYZ is in cahoots with ABCD to do unscrupulous things.
4. Director EFGH wants to 'run road' with the money.

Your admin has deleted several of this kind of posts.
Please speak based on facts. We are a value-based investment forum. Thanks.

Yes Sir!

Make it as a "sticky"?

Or add it to the Posting Guidelines 'sticky' that we already have?

It seems a good idea, the info will not exist in multiple threads, all in the same thread.

Let's merge the post into the posting guide thread, any objections?

I can do it, if no objection, by end of the day.

Done. I will keep this thread, but copy only the key post from here to Posting Guidelines thread
