Ian R Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 What the complaint then? why has this arisen? The fact that a number of "customers" have been allegedly sold cars thats spec differs to that advertised. But I am sure that the number of members on here are all worng and that GT Cars are not guilty. I mean why would a number of customers complain have no idea why ??

BASHTHEBISHOP Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 & i thought the idea of this site and others like it was to protect its members from traders who InMyOpinion ONLY cannot run a business / provide a service the say they can / try to con or cheat etc Ban them for the sake of other members / prospective supra owners - i would happily chip in extra pound or two to have a site that excluded poor traders and even kept a list of ones with validated poor trading Rant over:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I vaguely remember it being discussed but how can they take legal action against the club as people are only expressing their personal opinion on a public website. If they are that worried about their image then maybe they should make an effort to actually sell what they advertise and therefore keep their customers happy.

Pete Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 After the last lot of legal digging was it confirmed how the club is or isn't meant to be legally responsible for the content placed by its members? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supragold Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Oh my god. This is ridiculous. Can people really sue the forum for slander and liable when at the end of the day its just peoples opinion. I for one am getting sick of all this. People are just trying to help others out by voicing their experiences. If I had a bad experience with a company or individual I would voice it so others on here can be made aware. In the same respect if I had a good experience I would do the same. For the sake of fellow memebers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Oh my god. This is ridiculous. Can people really sue the forum for slander and liable when at the end of the day its just peoples opinion. Unfortunately yes they can, we have something like 48 hours from being notified of a slanderous etc comment to remove it or we are liable. Nice eh?

Guest Terry S Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Mawby seeing as members frown upon the threat of legal action, you should issue a "name and shame" of any traders past and present that have threatened the club. This may make them think twice in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
