Sorry, but don't understand. The only no-no in mentioning company names is if posted in an uncorroborated complaint or criticism, which could be deemed libel.
That seems a sensible precaution for PC
But corroboration could limit the expression of real concerns and just how a seconding opinion could be expressed without synchronised posting is a point to ponder.

Moderator - I am referring to forum "Equipment & Accessories" topic "Motor Movers" it would appear to me that in this topic we are not allowed to mention the supplier of Motor Movers.
Yup!Hmmmmm - I think I agree with you John, if only I understood. It sounds good though - heheheh!

I still don't understand what point you are trying to make. The only time I would edit a post mentioning a company (motor mover or whatever) by name is if it was part of an uncorroborated complaint or dispute with the company.
For legal reasons these are best negotiated direct with the company and kept out of the pubic forum to avoid possible litigation.
I would only remove the company name, and not the whole thread.
If I've misunderstood your point, please explain.

I tried to reply yesterday but the site was playing up and wouldn't accept the posting.
It would seem that the posting in question was removed and a subsquent one sanitised with no names was posted and allowed.
I asked if I had replied on this website or A N OTHER and got the reply that it was this site and that the thread was removed for the naming reason.
I had replied with more cases of trouble with the product so that is why I said earlier in this thread about synchronised posting to qualify for corroberation.
I'm just trying to tell it how it appears and obviously the moderator has the final word.

I understand what you are trying to say in your post. but removing posts because they could be libelous leads to the post becoming ambiguous particularly when members have not followed the topic from the beginning.
Time share for example!!I take it that it is OK to post uncorroborated praise of a company?
Yes. Unfair, isn't it?I take it that it is OK to post uncorroborated praise of a company?
The difference is that that's no law against falsely praising a company.
I don't remove whole posts because they could be libellous. Wherever possible I only change the name and leave the complaint.I understand what you are trying to say in your post. but removing posts because they could be libelous leads to the post becoming ambiguous particularly when members have not followed the topic from the beginning.
I honestly can't see the argument here. Surely its obvious that if Haymarket allow their site to post libellious complaints against a company they have no dealings with they are under the law as much to blame as the complainant. Haymarket have no proof that what is posted is the truth, for example the complainant might be a person with a grudge against the company for being sacked by them. If it is a genuine complaint take it to a Court of Law then if you won your case you might be allowed legally to post their name because the complaint as been proved/upheld in your favour.
Well it would seem that for a person to enter into your forum you and only you can be judge, jury and executioner. you should listen to Gilbert & Comic Operas particularly the MikadoI don't remove whole posts because they could be libellous. Wherever possible I only change the name and leave the complaint.
