TD, you are right on the one hand and right on the other too - what happy position to be in!
This would seem to imply that you as moderators do in fact have to assume responsibility or liability arising from the content of any such Postings and for any error, defamation, libel, slander.
Yes, of course we do. We have to. We have to curb all of those things otherwise the site would drop into a morass of rubbish, and that's putting it mildly. Having said that, we rarely if ever edit a post, that is a no no - except to cut out profanities, but lately we are deleting such posts so that people get the message.
It was expected that some would not like the stance we are taking but the level of PM's I am receiving and the comments being made, show that overall people are pleased that we are after "the way we were" and very much in favour of it.
Thanks.
