Other than like a Reddit this is one of the more lax forums as far as policing.

I have been banned from other forums for saying "crappy"

Never said they'd win the first case either.

Serious question: Is there a way this video/situation could be discussed on the OT without getting the thread whacked? It really is no different than the IM folks swapping vids/pics of one another and gossiping about it

Can bad posts be whacked and not the entire thread? This is a very talked about issue around LSU, at the moment

I did a cursory read-through and I think this is generally on point:

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act

So what does that limit the admins from saying/doing?

This is all conjecture because I don't know the structure of TD, but I don't think it limits the admins from doing anything.

I think it shields TigerDroppings under whatever legal entity Chicken has it (LLC or whatnot) from (in this case) the girl who was the subject of the thread last night suing TigerDroppings as an entity for the stuff that was posted in that thread last night.

That law pretty much makes interactive websites (go to the link and read about the early cases involving AOL) almost a liability-free conduit of information. Meaning the websites are simply the medium by which information is exchanged and the posters or submitters of that information are liable for the content and not the website itself.

Again, this is all in very general terms. That law was passed in the early days of the Internet to shield the big internet companies (think AOL chat rooms) from lawsuits based on what individuals posted.

Did you read what is happening with thedirty.com and that Bengals cheerleader though?

It seems the CDA may not be as clad proof as it once was.


quote:

This case has created a buzz in the reputation management industry, since it was the first time CDA was not accepted as a defense. The main reason of the judge not allowing the CDA as a defense is believed to be the fact that Richie acts as an editor of all content posted on the website and often modifies or adds his own comments. It is thought that the success of this lawsuit would open the doors to a flood of similar lawsuits.[16][17]

This is significant and makes that case distingusihable from the more 'normal' CDA cases cited in that Wiki link.

The owner of the website editing and adding his own comments is significant because he is not acting as a neutral conduit of info posted by others but is rather actively engaging in whatever discussion. He's getting away from the neutral conduit and going more towards the active poster of information/opinions/defamatory statements, etc.

It'd be like Chicken himself posting defamatory stuff and then trying to hide behind the CDA. The CDA is designed to shield websites from liabiltiy solely because they were the medium by which the defamatory content was transmitted. It's not a blanket shield for you to be an a-hole if you just so happen to also own the website.

Yea I agree.

Just interesting to think about what could result from a case like this being held up, not just for TD but for other sites.
Chicken isn't the only admin and is probably one of the least active ones in terms of posting in threads.
