I have a girl on my site who just joined who is causiing much turmoil. She is basically saying that because I have been modifying her inappropriate posts that I am violating TOS due to first amendment right to freedom of speech.

Now, before i do ANYTHING to jeapordize my site I always come to this board to check. Last night I was told I could delete it as it is my board and has been for the past year and a half. And that she could do nothing because as admin I have the right to delete what I feel are either inappropraite posts or posts that have been made that someone else has asked me to delete due to interference of flow.

Now I am severly concerned here because I love my site and the people on it and would NEVER EVER do anything to get it deleted.

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

If she can't follow the rules, then simply bann her. It is your right and duty as admin to monitor posts. If she can't handle it then don't let the door hit her on the way out..

I would say that if this person's posts are 'innapropriate', then as the admin of your site, you are well within your rights to modify her posts.

[Paper Box]

If her post go against your rules or if you don't like them, becuase they are either innapropiate or violating the t.o.s. Then yes you have the right to modify her posts, and no you are not violating the T.O.S. So therfore you have done nothing wrong correct?

[mitzy]

Okay thank you .. she just keeps saying how we are violating the Constitutional Amendments for modifying her posts and now she is disrupting everyone

[Storm]

Well there is an old saying too she has the right to remain silent.. *smirk

[mitzy]

O Storm .. how i wish thee had a character to tell her off. You rock!

[Storm]

Glad to be of help... A ban would be the ultimate tell off.. ;D

[mitzy]

Lol wish I could ban her but she just keeps coming back cause there are other people using her IP address. So until absolutley necessary ...can't ban ip

[Storm]

hmm. you could try baning her emails that she uses and user names..that's the one thing I hate about proxy ip's... or just suspend her account. You can also use limited registrations as well. She won't be able to post until you approve her..

[aimeeandbeatles]

Try banning username/email?

[mitzy]

Hmmm that could work ... with the whole approval deal ... shall try that and if it keeps occurring shall be back .. Thanks for the help

[DonJuan]

If the IP banning isn't possible, maybe you could appoint a moderator whose sole job is to delete her posts?

Just a thought?

[mitzy]

That sounds good too .. thank you all so much for your help .. I was really on my last nerve

[bobbief]

lol I do it you have to or else you get a bunch of spammers and people posting nudity sites and vulger poems and such.. I ban their user names and emails and ips...

I look at it this way i don't have many members and the members i have i wanna keep... can't let their posts run my members off..
