Defamatory comments on the BBS
NOTE: The BBS Rules forbid any post that may be defamatory. You may be banned from the BBS if you ignore these rules. Please read below and be careful what you post here.
Defamation is a generic term which includes libel (written defamation) and slander (spoken defamation). In terms of the BBS it is a statement which might harm someone’s reputation by exposing them to ridicule or contempt; cause them to be ridiculed or held in contempt; or lower their standing in the estimation of the general public.
Note that defamation might apply to a company or organisation as well as to individuals.
The concern for the BBS (and for those who post defamatory comments) is that organisations and individuals can sue for defamation. This is important: the BBS (and those who maintain the BBS) may be liable for defamation posted here, as well as the perpetrators.
There seems to be a common misconception that be using the word ‘allegedly’ in a posting is a defence. That is absolutely wrong. It might assist Newspapers who report what they have been told by the Police, or have heard in Court, but it does not protect the individual who passes on something he has heard.
Some other points to note: Leaving out a name of an individual, but providing clues to identity is no defence. Not is an apparently innocent comment which may have a ‘hidden’ message (either to those in the know or which provides clues to identity).
In certain very limited circumstances, it is lawful to pass on a defamatory comment. One defence is justification. The truth is an absolute defence. If there is 100% proof that a person had an affair (for example), that person could not sue anyone who made the affair public. Another defence is ‘fair comment’. Sometimes it’s borderline, but that would apply to most chat. To provide a defence against a defamation claim, the comment must be fair and certainly without a dishonest or improper motive.
