I didn't read Wingmans original post about cheating that got his thread closed, but I am curious about what constitutes libel in this case.
For example, I would find a post that simply states "Mr.A is a cheat!" unacceptable. On the other hand, if someone posted "Clause 123 of the rules clearly states X..... but we all saw Mr.A break that rule on lap Y in the tv footage. IMO, therefore, Mr.X cheated and should be disqualified!", I would consider that simply a "point of view" open to argument and a reasonable post for this website.
Would I be mistaken?
