and perhaps you can cite me some caselaw on where anyone has successfully sued someone for insulting an online nick, especially when the person behind the nick is unknown and generally anonymous, or where you can sue a person for libel against an online nick, when that online nick (ie: you) whose own words is self admission (a priori) as boorish behaviour , and that perceived act of libel is nothing more than pointing out the obvious.

last but not least, since i doubt you are a lawyer, perhaps you want to tell me exactly what the penalties are for impersonating a lawyer?
*check section "33. Unauthorised person acting as advocate or solicitor" of the legal professions act.

(b) wilfully or falsely pretends to be, or takes or uses any name, title, addition or description implying that he is duly qualified or authorised to act as an advocate or a solicitor, or that he is recognised by law as so qualified or authorised,

sadly, sometimes complications arise out of no where and more drastic actions are needed. e.g. if u were to moderate this thread, how would u do it?

so far, by and large the thread has seen lively and healthy discussion. it is self-moderating itself quite nicely.

Firstly, to all the members who have posted in here, thank you for your honest feedback, criticisms and also the shows of support.

As far as possible, we try to provide explanation of why the thread/post was closed or removed (in most cases, we send a PM to the threadowner), but we may not be able to provide a lengthy explanation all the time as we are also all working in full-time jobs.

We fully realise that we cannot please everyone all the time (as I have said many times before) but we always try to do the correct things as far as the majority of members are concerned and we are content if we can please most of the members most of the time.

Free speech (and in particular, the Kopitiam section) is a very weird beast. There are arguments for and against free speech and its always very difficult to draw a line between whats acceptable and whats not. The Kopitiam in ClubSNAP has been traditionally a very hard forum to moderate precisely because of the grayness of that line and we have seen many occasions where Moderators actions have been called into question relating to posts in the Kopitiam section.

Back to the question of "Mods (and by extension, the Admins) playing God" and with particular reference to the Kopitiam section, we hereby extend an invitation to those that feel that they can contribute as Moderators in Kopitiam as "Keepers of Free Speech".

Here is a proposal and some guidelines that will apply to newly appointed Moderators of Kopitiam (if anyone decides to take up the mantle):-

a) All current Moderators of Kopitiam will be reassigned to other subforums.
b) Kopitiam section will be closed until New Moderator(s)are appointed
c) New Moderator(s) will be solely responsible for activities within the Kopitiam section
d) New Moderatos(s) will set the guidelines for posts and threads in Kopitiam section (subject to final ratification by Admins)
e) If there are any complaints or issues relating to New Moderator(s) actions in Kopitiam, and if the New Moderator(s) are unable to resolve the issues in a satisfactory manner, the New Moderator(s) will be removed and we will start again at Step B.

How does that proposal sound? If anyone is interested in becoming a Moderator for the Kopitiam section, please step forward and we will evaluate and appoint as necessary.

PS : This is a sincere invitation and I really hope those who believe they can help to make CS a better place to step up and volunteer their time and service.

sure...would like to help.

Concentrate... feel the Force flow. Yes. Good. Calm, yes. Through the Force, things you will see. Other places. The future... the past. Old harmony long gone.
