yes I do. as I think it is irresponsible to allow outright slander/libel

if someone said pornodoggys progam coul be shaving . that is board talk and all have a chance to comment on it .

if someone said pornodoggy is thief and steals my money ( then I think there should be a fact based to allow that to stay present)

The question and something that I would find problematic is who deicdes if it is fact or not ???

I think if someone calls someon a child molestor for example that it should not be allowed on the board. if someon says someone has a little dick and cant get a hard on then I think that is different.

at the end of the day though the probl;em is not a cencorship problem, I think it has more to do with good judgment and system abuse, people constantly use the interent for bad reasons and to slander products or people without cause.

I think we need legislation of some sort ( just as we have libel and slander laws) and laws prohibiting people from yelling fire in an open building or joking about a bomb in their pants on an airplne for example.

The internet is not some automatic hiding place that should allow for any different treatment than one would be held responsible for in real life.

DOS TIP -
Libel and slander laws already apply to the internet.

We actually had an issue -exactly- like that (quite literally) on another board that I visit, not too long ago.

A board member somehow conned a rather well known & respected member of the industry, out of 1k. We held a photoshop contest to "Put ____ behind bars!" and the admins let the contest run,...and run... and run... for quite a few days, and then they closed the thread & we weren't allowed to actually finish the contest.

Some great photochops in there though.
