I think this ought to go offline really SoJohn as we're not supposed to discuss moderating policy here, but suffice it to say that if you show interest in a job on here, you go for an interview, you satisfy yourself that the job is OK and that the employer is above board, and then you accept the job if you feel your research is OK.

However, if I post up "SoJohn Motors are thieves and should not be trusted as they will destroy your car engine as their staff are not trained", the damage is done and SoJohn motors' reputation is sullied, even if I was just being mischievous and the fault had not been theirs

I'm not discussing policy. I already said I can agree with it and would probably do the same myself. The legal argument just makes no sense (despite what your solicitor said). I also said if someone posted a topic you just gave an example of it should be deleted

Perhaps I should tell Google that YouTube is doomed to failure. I'll send them the name of your solicitor

Or I'll tell Inetinteractive that their chain of forums are leaving them open to lawsuits

Yes, by all means if it makes you happy

Can we leave it at that now please
Its forum policy....I dont make the rules .... its not my forum and I dont have to take the risks.

I'm locking the thread now, for as I said we're not suppose to discuss moderation policy on line, and the reasons for the rule have already been given
