Can IPB delete boards just based on bad content?

There is a board where the members are posting mean stuff about other people in their school who is not neccessarily a member on that site and I feel like that this is a very bad environment and can get people into trouble. Can you look in to it or is IPB not allowed to do something like this?

btw the site is www.lwcommunity.org

No we cannot. If the board is pirated, we can take a look at it and make an attempt to shut it down but shutting it down due to defamation of character is something you'll want to speak to a lawyer about.

We are in a democracy and what people say or do using PAID LEGAL software is totally up to them and IPB can do nothing about it.

If the site is preaching hatred then you can take it up with local law enforcement officers. Each state or province will have a set of rules dealing with the spread of hatred.

If the site is just mean spirited then its no different from the Howard Stern show. Annoying as hell and he will keep going as long as he has an audience. Turn it off an he is out of business.

And yet "Stormfront" is still alive and kicking... I wonder who's hosting their site... and Im suspecting someplace in God-knows-where to avoid getting shut down too <_<

Darn it. But still, can they delete the board just based on content or does it have to be really bad, like breaking the law?



In my opinion people like you are far worse, just because a site says something YOU don't like doesn't mean they have to be taken down, I'm guessing they're probably saying stuff about you? Good for them, because the way you're coming across as someone who always wants YOUR way and it's always about YOU sure isn't rubbing off well on me. :)

I'm not sure where you're getting this information, but I saw nothing at all to suggest that.

They're hosted by The Planet (In Texas), they'll host just about anything except CP. :rolleyes:

Which is as it should be, unless you live in China or Iran or some other country where Freedom of Speech doesn't exist.
