careful what you say guys

Defamatory remarks made towards businesses or individuals will not be tolerated on this website - We understand that if you have had a bad experience with a business you want to warn other people of said experience. Unfortunately, the same publicly expressed opinion could be viewed as libelous and/or constitute an attempt to deter business from any individual or business. Australian law holds the site owner partly responsible for any defamatory remarks posted on said website, and that is unacceptable. Informing people via PM's is tolerated as it is not a public message. With this said, feel free to post any information about a business or individual that you have had good dealings with.

Steve has a point, as do ya'll...

a) One rule is for the users of this website - follow their rules or hit the highway

b) One rule is a federal law for speech in general.

When you sign up for SAU, you are asked to abide by the terms and conditions. These usually encompass rules which go above and beyond the law, or have a caveat that you are willingly becoming a member on the condition that you forfeit that right on this individual forum. So you're both right..

That said, the rule was to stop people trash talking a business when it isnt justified - sometimes this happens.

And on the flipside, if there was a shithouse business out there, I would not want to give them my business - which is where the rule comes in, as the mods of this forum dont want businesses to lose customers on the basis of a single report (which could be biased and unverified). Ultimately the mods have discretion, and its a grey area at best.

I think a bit of flexibility is required. For example, I posted a very vague reference to a dodgy auto electrician near my house and never got cautioned or pmmed about it. I think its more a safety clause incase a business threatens SAU with libel suit. Andrew and Pete could possibly add more to this, but tbh it comes down to commonsense. You can post your experiences publicly without naming names, and if people are that concerned they can always PM you to ask you your personal (and more importantly, unpublished and uncensored) opinion.

-D

EDIT : Remember, if you defame someone in speech or audio its slander. In print it's Libel and attracts a more severe legal penalty.
