RTG

Not worth the hassle mate I do think you'd just be wasting money.

What grounds would you try to take action on like?

 

Agree with this Pete.

Not sure what you'd try to take action on. It was a forum poster who claimed he was able to identify you, not one of the admin.

 

I've already posted this, as below, and a follow up post at 9.35am yesterday.

I've spoken, unofficially, with a very good lawyer who gave me some surprising info.

I've taken spurious legal action many times, over the years, and always find it enjoyable.

"As I'm being attacked so much I created an account so I could keep track of what was being said, do searches, pm people, etc.

It was just for fun but it became serious yesterday. I've been accused of homophobia, racism, etc, and found that my name and personal details are being pm'd to 'anyone interested'.

That's out of order, and quite weird, so I spoke to a contact who's the solicitor for an ex-employer and a good lad. He put a junior, in his office, onto 'the law and Internet forums'. I thought he'd come back with very little but it appears I was wrong. I won't go into great detail but it appears the owner of the website has a duty of care and a responsibility for what's posted. I would have to be at risk of 'substantial harm' which could be the case if my current or previous employers became involved. If, for example, my current employers, both gay men, sacked me for these 'homophobic attacks' that would constitute substantial harm. Anyone allowing this 'information' to be posted could be liable as could anyone posting. The website owner can be forced to divulge whatever details they hold including IP addresses.

So he's given me the name of a solicitor I can afford, he's way out of my league, who's open for business on Tuesday. She's had experience of this kind of thing so I'm going to put some money into it. I'm not sure how wealthy Roger, the SMB owner is, but I'm hoping to rack up the costs whether or not the action is successful. My contact reckons the court will basically say 'shake hands and grow up' but as long as it causes RTG some bother that'll do ... although it could be forced to close in the extreme

I'm usually the kind of person to deal with things face to face but the lowlife scumbags over there, including the idiot Mod Pancho, are too cowardly for that ...

... so I'll sit back and let someone clever have a swing at them"

 

The admin have a duty to police what's being said, simple as that.

 

I didn't know your name and personal details had been given out over PM mind.

Do you have proof of that too?
If the mods are aware of that and they didn't do anything after you had complained then you could be onto something mate.

 

Due to my work I've always kept emails, texts, etc, and also recorded any phone calls I thought might be useful.

Due to Pancho's lengthy, and relentless, grudge I've copied absolutely anything useful ...

... I always knew I'd be banned for life.

I currently have another login, on RTG, so have received and sent pms as well as being contacted by various lads I know on there. They've gathered quite a bit of info via pm.

My personal details have been passed without my permission and false accusations allowed to stay on the forum. Pancho has made false allegations since I've been banned.

Pathetic for someone who's supposed to be impartial.

 

Well I never knew your personal information was being passed about mate that is a disgrace especially if they knew about it.

Jesus it's just football and a bit of crack on we are after at end of the day no need for stuff like that.

 

I've been accused of sexual harassment, bullying a female poster, racism, homophobic attacks, etc ...

... this has not only been left on the forum but Mods have actually contributed.

Pancho has posted shameful stuff that he's then deleted along with my responses ...

... I have it all saved

 

Had a read over there. They don't seem to have much more info the takeover.

Seems to be more about smug and the legal action than anything else.

 

I've been banned for months yet continually discussed by people who can only 'win an argument' if I'm not there to respond.

Yet, apparently, it's me that's obsessed.

I'm always honest and can happily say I miss my mates on RTG and didn't want to be banned.

I didn't post about Gareth Thomas to engineer a ban. I've no problem defending myself, no matter how many bigots are piling in, I can always deal with a bunch of thick witless internet heroes.

The legal action will be fun and can fill the gap that football has left ...

... plus its a laugh I can have from my current 'house arrest'.

 

Are you intending to go as far as court?

I'd imagine the lawyer your using isn't cheap either!

As soon as the footballs back, it will probably all blow over in your head mate.

 

@Smug in Boots stop all this **** man.

There is a form on RTG that you can use if you have evidence of defamatory post against you.

https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/defamation-notice-of-complaint.1445548/

 

Pity there wasn't some sort of an appeal process fir when you get barred from owa there

Boom barred no strategy for circumstances etc

 

Would be useless for me marra as I'm normally to pissed to remember what I wrote that got me the ban.

 

Exactly 9/10 my bans have been for when I have been pissed

Surely when it's obvious I've had a swally a 24 hr ban would be suffice

Not 3 ****ing months

Ok posters have said to me don't gan on RTG when you've had a swally but when I've had a swally

Like I remember what I'm deeing

 

It won't blow over mate.

It's not just a row over whether Donald's a chancer or if a player is shyte or not.

I've had my personal details passed on by pm, been accused of hate crimes, etc. I currently work for two gay fellas who own the villa in the south of France, they're absent owners and rent it our. If they were informed that I was posting homophobic attacks, on the Internet, I could be summarily dismissed. That, according to the solicitors, is putting me at risk of 'substantial damage'.

It's bad enough if it's just the resident forum weirdos but this involved a Moderator which is unacceptable. Pancho thinks he's a clever chap, so we'll see how that pans out. He thinks it's funny to join in with attacks on me, then ban me for responding, so it will be funny to wipe the smile off his face.

I was asked to take my complaints to pm and subsequently banned for life. The responses, to my posts, were removed and all attacks on me by posters and Mods deleted.

Posters who backed me up were banned. And recently people who've attempted to dispute claims, against me, by the forum clowns and Mods have received bans.

Yet there's been a week of attacks on me, with people calling me liar, etc, all of which are allowed to remain, no matter how personal.

So f**k them mate, I'll spend the money I've saved on flights back for matches to have a bit of fun and take it to court.

From what I've now been told these forums have a duty to safeguard people's information. The disgraceful situation with @janey and the Mag tosser shows that isn't the case.

The plan is to run up legal costs and hopefully win the case. I don't want to receive any compensation, just cost Roger a packet in legal fees.

If there's any award I'll buy everyone on here, and my mates on RTG, a pint

 

You can go and f**k yourself you sad little snake. You were on the Gareth Thomas thread deliberately causing trouble, lying through your teeth and reporting me.

You're Pancho's pet arse licker and a total snide.

Coming on here pleading ffs, have you no self respect.

I don't want to fill in any stupid forms or go back on RTG, I made that clear. It's pointless when a Mod has been involved in posting lies.

Go back to the little bunch of creeps like HKP and spend your time reporting people, there's a good lad.

 

FFS on ignore he goes

 

I always have a bit dialogue with reiver no need to ignore him.

 

From the outside it looks like you landed here to have s crack at him.
