SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Yep...saw that after my post.
Pity though..it was a bloody good site but was sorely in need of the type and standard of moderation we have on this site. Hopefully something will get sorted out soon

He is the editor(I think?) of the magazine that hosts the forum. I'm not aware of any major saga's happening on the forum but I do know that it is more active during the day than at night, when I'm generally on it...but that may have something to do with the two hour time difference as well

As the publisher of the site, he is responsible for anything posted. At least he would be under English law, I assume it's the same in South Africa.

Really? I did not know that.

So, does that mean, if sv650.orgMember says the Cumbria branch of MrMagoo's Suzuki shop did a rubbish job on his bike, and ripped him off, and left it hanging, SV650.org's publisher can be charged with Libel?

Say if the guy just made up this stuff, say it was untrue, sv650.org publisher is liable at this point? What happens to the guy who made the libelous statement? MrMagoo gets two settlements? It seems a bit mad. What stops them litigating against the ISP, or the manufacturers of the server on which the site runs?

Why could they have some disclaimer saying all opinions are not those of the publisher etc.? Like they do on the bottom of those annoying emails.

People write scandalous stuff on forums all the time. How come the lawyers arent roaming message boards in packs looking for this kind of thing?
