Former Eagles player suing AFL, website

I've raised the above article for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, because of the story itself but secondly, as a reminder to posters of the importance of observing certain standards on any site of this nature.

I direct you all to our code of conduct which is pinned at the top of this message board.

The code will shortly be undergoing a review, particularly to cover areas where posters carry on their own personal squabbles to the detriment of other people's enjoyment of the site, often with multiple posts that hijack discussion.

If you want to keep Demonland going, then please respect this and if you have any doubts, please consult the code of conduct.

Thanks.

WJ best of luck, the only way for a person to learn is to be deprived of something they enjoy, so banning recidivists is your only option to retain some sense of order. It has happened to me once and I thoroughly deserved it, had no problem with it at all and learnt my lesson from it.

I know they can 'reappear' but most can recognise their 'style' and act

I would have thought that there's a big onus on individuals to post responsibly, but perhaps there's now an even bigger onus on moderators to decide how to handle posts that are potentially libellous or defamatory.

While I woudn't want freedom of speech or airing of views to be limited, this area of internet discussion board content seems to be very untested when it comes to libel and defamation. It is after all, just another public medium, subject to the same rules as any other. It's a problem for people who run discussion boards like Demonland in good faith.

There's a lot of stuff here, indeed in any discussion board, that often poses as fact when it's really just opinion, rumour or hearsay.

I entirely agree.

The particularly troublesome ones can have their IP blocked, which not only prevents them from choosing another psuedonym, but actually prevents them from visiting the site at all. The average football fan is unlikely to know how to circumvent such a punishment.

Trolling on the "no trolling" topic

Classic.

Good on him. I hope he manages to get a win over them all. A few more suits like this and we might see a return of that outdated concept journalistic integrity.
