What is a defamatory post?

[HHO admin]

Dear forum users

In order to reduce confusion about what is (and is not) a defamatory post, we have decided to post a basic guide to ensure all users have the same understanding.

1. A post which could damage the reputation of an individual or company is defamatory
2. The person or company does not need to be named - if someone who knows the person/company can identify them from what is posted then this is sufficient for legal action to be taken against IPC and the individual who posted the message.

Defamatory posts are not acceptable under the forum terms and conditions. I hope that this post helps clarify matters.
