Blackbriar 8,569 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 We have recently had threads concerning Cliff Richard and Clement Freud, as well as having one of our own having his name slurred. So, if and when accusations are shown to be false, is an open forum, such as this one, governed by the liable laws ? If I state that ABC is a DEF and has committed XYZ, and that is shown to be untrue, could I (in theory at least) be sued for libel ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 And I say "libel" rather than "slander" because posts are written, rather than spoken. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course you could be sued. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stealthy1 3,964 Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Why do the same few keep dragging this sort of stuff up? It makes us look like fools, get some forum related topics up and move on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
