Suggestion for Scam Alert

Recommended Posts

James,

I think this area could be a great area over time. One suggestion to make it work and protect the person submitting the review is to allow the poster to submit the thread as an Anonymous user. As you saw in my thread about a vendor, they became rather obnoxious and while it just reaffirmed my opinion of them, the thread is no longer on TL.

 

Not sure how that could work, but maybe a check box that when posting in this forum you can submit as Anonymous - user name AND IP address. Place a restriction that only premium members can do it since premium is now open to those with 300 or more posts. That would hopefully eliminate any abuse by spammers or those that just want to post rubbish and move on.

Hi brownsfan,

 

Unfortunately I have removed the scam section in order to protect TL. I received a notice from a legal firm and do not want anything to do with them and would rather avoid this mess altogether. I checked up on the internet laws and an anonymous format will not work.

 

In order to protect both TL and the members, I have decided to remove the scam alert forum. FYI... apparently a website can not be held liable for third party content as in the case here. (need to do more research) Another related case is Stratton Oakmont, Inc. v. Prodigy Computer Services, Inc., which was a case of defamatory bulletin board postings. Initially, the poster was tracked. When they could not, Prodigy was sued but later Congress enacted the Communications Decency Act (CDA) to prevent courts from treating internet system operators (in this case the owner of the bulletin board) as publishers of third party content. Thus, the Attorney General ruled that patently offensive language to be unconstitutionally vauge, overboard, and subjective.

 

I reckon this is a case by case judgement. However, just so everyone on TL stays safe the spam alert section has been removed.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
