Just serves to prove the importance of the Moderators/Admin staff we have, and why we need to thank and support them.

I have been a member/moderator of different sites and I can honestly say this is about the friendliest and best run site I have had the pleasure to be a member of... and that doesn't just happen .. its down to a LOT of hard work "behind the scenes".

Once again .. thanks guys ...

I susspect the law is not "as clear as a bell" on it, but the fact that the directors of the Volvo Owners Group feel that they can be held liable for posts on their forum is a bit of a shocker.

As stated in previous posts, this is a good forum - and for two reasons. One is that us Omega owners tend to be mature and intelligent thinking people. The other is because the Admins and Mods are doing a great job. (There was a post on here recently slagging off another member who had done work for the poster - it was pulled within minutes and handled very professionally).

That the Admins and Mods - and the provider of this forum - can be held legally responsible for other's content, while doing a voluntary job in good faith, is is plain wrong. It is also a poor reflection of our pathetically litigious and selfish society.

Absolutely. The law needs clarifying here. The way I see it, if the admin / owner of a site responds in a constructive way to complaints of unfair information posted therein he has done all he can. What can he be expected to do other than remove the information when it is brought to his attention? Personally moderate every post before publication?

Problem is, once a lawyer sees the opportunity to make some money they will go for everyone, due to lack of any real legal pprecedence on the matter.

It probably doesn't help that most of the legal system are stuffy old baffoons who don't understand the internet, nor the actual contributions made by the various parties involved in hosting, running and contricuting to a web forum.
