Can you give an example? David Here it is. I think it shows the mischief that can be done by malicious postings appearing to emanate from urg or its members but I have no idea if this is the only example because I haven't gone hunting. Read the paras from Binaries onwards: http://www.gardenbanter.co.uk/united...r-uk-rec-garde ning.html That isn't a case of a post to u.r.g. being altered (on GardenBanter). That was a troll "parody" of the charter that was posted on u.r.g. Which, nonetheless, shows the damage that can be done, which is actually the important point, rather than *how* it was done. As the second sentence of the above says "appearing to emanate from urg or its members". HOW, doesn't matter. If we're going to be correct and pedantic, I doubt anyone can go into Garden Banter and alter what have then become 'their posts'. What they can do, as you point out, is parody information given and unless we're all going to monitor our posts' copies on GB, put your name or anyone else's to something you have not said or alter its sense entirely. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that there are people posting and lurking here who would love to do both because they have nothing better to do, or because they have a grudge against urg. The post I cited is a clear example of the latter, imo. Who would write an apparent urg post to GB stating that advertising here is to be used in such a way and that 18 lines sigs are acceptable unless they hoped to harm this group and upset its members? Can you think of anyone? -- Sacha South Devon So ........ .. There are two answers. 1) ""If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen"". If you don't like your posts being transferred to GB, don't post and 2) Start your own forum where people have to subscribe to be members, you then have control over the nasties, AND, post a warning as a stickie that any post re-posted on ANY OTHER forum or newsgroup and you will sue. Stop bleating Mike -- .................................... It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice. .................................... |
