How is digital point allowing defamation and not taking any action

Dear Moderators,

I am Boyan and recently in google search results I see a post suggesting that I'm a fraud. I see that thread is closed but common this is ridiculous. This type of behaviour from anyone is not accepted.

How would you like if someone created a thread on 20 other forums about each digital point forum moderator for being fraud. I'm sure it won't bring you much reputation if you are the home page of major search engines

I request digital point management to either remove this thread or put in a section which it's not accessible by bot

Dear Mods

Hello! I saw a thread that is defaming my personal name on digital point. Policy of digital point is against defamation. It's hurting my online business and i would request kind moderators to delete this thread

You wouldn't like if i created threads about you or anyone you know on forums defaming and saying things that don't make sense. No one wants there name to be defamed like this on public forums

Here is the link to thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=653416

Thanks in advance and so much for your kind cooperation on this matter

Boyan

 

Everything doesn't need a lawyer and can be resolved in peace. If you read the full thread the person who created the thread apologized. That means they don't want any law to fight this. Like this anyone can create a thread about everyone else to defame them. When people, search your name, they see this

if the owner who created the thread didn't request it to be deleted, i wouldn't have requested kind moderators from this forum to do the same

We run several sites as well and understand how this work. Peace

 

This is what the person who created the thread had to say in the end

"
Mr. Josic has requested that I remove this post. In return he has promised to pay his debt. To my knowledge there is no way to remove this post. To those I may have offended by my opinion of Mr. Josic, I apologize and ask that you make your own judgement of him based on your own research. Best wishes.

I'm a businessman and i respect your thoughts but i really can't go through the hassle of the lawyer which is really ridiculous. It's like saying i know your details, i get my people to create 20 threads about you on few forums and then to remove them you have to get the lawyer

This is just not right. Digital point doesn't provide defamation and specially when the owner of the thread has declared that they made wrong assumption, this shouldn't be the case

Please try to understand, this is very important and put yourself in my situation. As you can see i'm not a regular member but someone who cares about their reputation

You would too

 

I assume you mean the guy who called you a fraud, it seems as though he has apologised and from what I can see everyone in that thread is speaking highly of you. If it happens again and you think it's defamation use the report post button and be gone with it

 

What really seems odd is that a brand new member is being accused like this. Could it be a dupe account? All you would have to do is ask a mod to reopen the thread to defend yourself with proof that all the charges made against you were false. If they really are, it seems there are more than one person who is conspiring against you.

Seems others share the opinion:

The point is not that. The point is i sorted out everything with the person who opened that particular ticket. They themselves decided to close the ticket. The close ticket still has problem on displaying on search engine and i believe when everyone in the thread are fine with the ticket being deleted, there is no reason to leave that

In business, you must have had problem with other people but that doesn't mean we start putting threads. What stops me in putting a thread in anyone name on this forum and have it against there name for whole life

Please reconsider your decision

 

DP does not delete old threads. Sarahk is a long time moderator here and she gave you the answer:

Everyone has a right to express an opinion if it is true. It sounds like it is true and you popped back around to try to clear it up. It still does not erase the fact that you had bad dealings at some point.

If I go to a restaurant and have bad service and bad food, I tell people. It is true and even if the restaurant calls me and gives me a great free dinner, the original fact is still truth and can not be erased.

Number one in any business is honesty and integrity. Slip up and it will haunt you for a long time. Just be sure in the future to handle all problems before they come to that point and you will be able to rebuild your reputation.

Sounds like you ignored the original complaints, you should have dealt with them right away with honest answers.

 

I believe that defaming is against digitalpoint policy
I think since the problem has been solved the thread should be removed or something as it still appear in search engines and it might hurt his business
I hope a Mod will delete that thread without the need of a lawyer

Cheers
Adel

 

Dear Allout

There is something called misunderstanding in business. It was cleared later on in the thread. I may have a misunderstanding with you and tommorow i'll create a thread about you and later on we can resolve it. Regardless, we resolve it or not, the thread will always be there to haunt you

It doesn't work like that. Then you can spend your time and money, getting lawyer to do the paper work

 

Do you, or do you not, want the thread in question reopened so you can respond and offer a rebuttal / explanation?

 

You've already been told that the thread won't be deleted.

You've also already been told what recourse you have - get a lawyer to send the paperwork.

If you want the question opened so you can respond, PM a moderator to have it opened.

 

Dear Mods

For what reason did you close my previous thread without even taking any actions. We must delete the original thread otherwise defaming will become a game on digital point.

These type of issue will give power to any user to defame anyone, even if the case is resolved. Mods can be defamed as well in other forums and i believe thats not a right thing to do

For whole life you are stuck with something that even worked out

This thread clearly suggested http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=653416 that issue was worked out so this thread doesn't have to remain live for ever to defame person in question
