Hi
look I'm not that shallow---- If I was getting a bad service from Go Matilda I would give Go Matilda a shit review and give them both barrel's as I have no allegiances to Go Matilda and as I am the customer ie paying the bills

BUT I had a bad experience from an agent and I was advised that not only should I not post about it but that I shouldnt even PM people about it as I could get "done" for it!
How is that fair?
(agent in question was not Go Matilda by the way)

Well we arrived in Melbourne 31/7/2005.
Yes there were some hiccups along the way but we were satisfied with the service provided. Will let ya all know how we get along in a month or so when we stop shopping!!!!!
Good luck to all that are trying.

For an idiot's guide to UK libel laws, see here: http://www.urban75.com/Action/libel.html
The reason that boards such as BE discourage you from posting your negative true experiences, is because BE can't check if what you're posting is true or false. And, in any libel action, it isn't just the writer who gets sued, but also - potentially - the owner of the board and the ISP. Therefore, for BE it's safest if they simply disallow any negative postings about agents, or - if someone posts something negative - delete it as soon as possible.
BE can't "see" PMs (as far as I know), and - as said above - if you're sure of your facts, there is no reason why you can't PM or email someone the details. You can't get *done* for something you say that's true.

Very valid points though.
We do tend to forget that what we write on the forum or in emails is subject to normal litigation laws. The ether of the internet is not imune so be sure of your facts. If you are then be outspoken but accept that the BBS may have to edit at times......and it isn't necessarily because they don't like what you say. They have to be safe, not sorry.
Soapy you are a sot
