CAG site auto censoring of words

[walker323]

To the people who run this forum: Look, it makes absolutely no sense to censor words which contain sc@m or sc@mmer but not to censor words like 'mother****** which I know will be printed here in its original raw glory.

 

It also detracts from the sense of what I am trying to convey to anyone who wants to know. These people are sc@mmers, and I should be able to call them sc@mmers without having to use ampersands, for God's sake!

CAG has to minimise risk of being potentially drawn into expensive and long running legal disputes that might follow from comments added to the site.

 

Therefore some words are subject to auto censoring.  Does not stop any companies practices or actions from being discussed. It is where people suggest that a company or individual is alleged to have committed a criminal action that is an issue.

 

Stick to facts and report any potentially criminal or unlawful acts to the appropriate organisation.

 

As for swear words people should refrain from posting these and site team can edit to remove them.

If you had to run this forum, spend the time managing it and bear the responsibility of reducing risks of very expensive litigation which could cause damage either to the forum or to ourselves personally because of our responsibility, then you might understand that we have to act as cautiously as possible and this is what we do in the interests of ourselves, our own families, and the hundreds of thousands of people who visit us every year for help.

We are interested in helping people solve issues and not merely to be a place where people can express anger publicly at no risk to themselves.

 

Also, we have been doing this for almost 14 years and we do it for free.

 

If you would like to post comments which are potentially defamatory then first of all provide us with your full name, address – and verify your identity, then we may try to allow you to post your comments. Under the most recent defamation law, as publishers, if we can identify the individual who has actually published the defamatory material and supply it to the person who is alleging the defamation then we shed our liability.

Please contact admin on our admin email address to provide us with all of those details.
