People posting messages at this forum should be aware that writing a slanderous comment under an alias does not protect the offender. I am not sure, but I presume that if push came to shove, and something written was so offensive, that tracing the origin of the computer from where the post was written would not be too difficult. Even using a public library can be traced to the person booked in at the time.
This forum has had many comical allegations between mates which would otherwise be offensive and the difference between these posts and say, accusations of theft from dressing sheds is quite obvious.
By all means keep the digs at your mates coming, anything goes between thick skinned friends, but realise that if dodgy allegations continue the forum will unfortunately be closed.
This type of problem has happened at many sites, with a lot of forums shutting down, even the heated debate between Uni and Port fans & players is fine, but what was written about Jason Sullivan has left me no alternative than to apologise to a bloke I've only barely met before, for something I personally didn't do.
