Guest neil_wiles Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 Its about the use of a forum to launch a malicious script into the hosting domain, I dont think we are gonna have the same issue but it is clearly a statement that the courts are now believing the moderators should be aware of all the posts and responsible for the content if it causes a problem and the forum moderators do not agree contractually to dispense with the offending material and sign to state the compeltion fo the removal.

Masked Marauder Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 I don't know where the word "Moderator" came from in The Register's piece, the actual ruling refers to the provider of web based forums being liable. Quote
