General Discussion
Re disappearing text. No one has hacked in to anything on this site. Flo deleted the text of her post on the 8th herself either deliberatly or accidentally.
I have exchanged emails with Nelson so hopefully he will be more of a team player from now on.
Sorry Jools88 & Brazilnut. A lot of people had contributed to the thread and posted comments that were not vindictive including comments about why this type of discussion should not be pursued. I think the approach of closing a thread and redacting parts if necessary is probably better than removing threads.
Thanks Don. Having thought about it further, I have recovered the thread, left it closed and redacted the name of the person that was being discussed on there.

@J Warrener, The information from the newspaper article(s) was not vindictive. It had been on here for a couple of weeks. Nelson's intention was soley to cause a conflict or argument which is against the forum terms. @Nelson , Any member can post news articles on here. The same terms apply.
After several complaints about the 'Around the Courts' thread I have decided to remove it. Although I try not to remove posts if I can help it, this thread was clearly upsetting individuals and did not serve any purpose other than to be vindictive. I hope everyone is OK with this.
Firstly, Nelson, please do not make it your goal to try and guess or point out who people are on here just because you may know who they are. As I've said before, it doesn't matter, it adds nothing to the debate and it is just a negative act that we can only interpret as attempting to incite a conflict or argument, which is against the forum terms. I think I need to try to clear up some ...
Brazilnut, I do not think this forum has been hacked. If you are concerned about privacy then please email me and we can discuss it in private if you want to.
I do not post on here under another username. People contact me through the 'Contact Us' link and by email, and I try to respond as impartially as I can. I would be happy to pass the role of webmaster / moderator onto someone else, however at the moment the site is not that easy to manage and I can't separate the forum moderator role from the site administrator. I will discuss it with people on ...
Nelson, I'm not suggesting libel. Libel is when you write something untrue about someone and it causes damage to their reputation.
