1 - Thou shalt post constructively.
Make your posts have a positive point. Posting just to complain without an effort to turn something positive or posting just to say 'is that so?' is a waste of reading space.
2 - Thou shalt not use thy forum to troll.Click here to read the entire tutorial

Sorry! We are asked to comment constructively and that is what I have done. Saucer of milk time again it seems.

For those who are bemused, one of the rules mentioned "no slander" and that is spoken word, not written, I suggested it was changed to "Libel", which is the written word and obviously pertinent to this site.
How can Sam monitor what the Geeks are saying on the site continuously, he has to work too!

It seems we are all slanderous/libelous (lol is that a word?) if we say we dislike a certain product.

I think if there are some things being written that we disagree with, we can all use the ignore function. This is what it's there for.

Hope this helps Paris.

Thanks for the reply.

I appreciate that Sam is not able to police this site all the time - why should he? There are rules we should all keep to, as long as they apply here.

We are told to read and check these rules - and comment on them, and that's what I did.

Slander is the spoken word, and therefore meaningless on this site, what it should be replaced with is libellous, which is the written. Simple.

It may indeed have been formulated some years ago, but the meaning has not changed.

If it is changed to what it should be, then the moderators can police it by looking at iffy posts drawn to their attention - and warning posters. It's no good having a commandment that makes no sense at all - is it?

I cant really see why you use this site because all you ever seem to do on here is too try and cause conflict and have a pop So why bother ??

I guarantee you that it is one of the many things the moderators do on a daily basis.

I personally don't think it's right that this is being discussed on this thread, if there are niggles and/or complaints then there are avenues to go down, ie private message, email, site feedback etc.

Can we all now please drop the subject and leave it to be dealt with in the correct manner?
Thanks

This most definately needs reiteration. Please think about libel and slander when making comments about people. The site has to take responsibility for things posted and these sorts of comments will not be accepted.
