5 - Category 0 Report (Breach of UK/France law)

Well, it’s very handy that TF has its own in-house lawyer!

I’ll have a proper look at what you’ve sent when I get home.

So you want him indefinitely banned from all platforms over some already-moderated remarks he made on the forum?

The fuck?

I need to see, or at least have some sort of context behind the deleted posts. What was 5 responding to? What were the posts before his about?

Edit - was just told 5’s response was the first one

You want him indefinitely banned from all platforms because he said you, a furry, is sexually attracted to cats?

… Lol

↩  117 no, he implied beastialty which even a dumbass like me can tell apart from furries liking anthros

↩  ClayCoconut

Even so,

The post was already moderated and if it was found to be anything more than what it was, it wouldve been handled there and then. This is just unnecessary

↩  117 im just giving my two cents, i dont have any opinions on the category 0 part

↩  117 Defamation rests on the post being made, and people seeing it.

↩  Luke he’s appealing to French law.

↩  RedEastWood ignore me im the fucking idiot thought he applied it to uk law given the title

Defamation against Ren under French law:

Quote

Nobody has any idea who Ren is outside of “Lyicx’s gf”

I think it's morally reprehensible to make an implication that someone practises bestiality based on the fact they dress up as an anthropomorphised animal, with no proof besides the fact that they dress up as said anthropomorphised animal.

Nevertheless, I don't think it's really worthy of a category 0 ban. But that's just personal conjecture, I don't write the rules.

if anyone did not see the post in question, i can provide a screenshot of it as needed.

I'm going to lock this for the time being, it will be adequately reviewed and unlocked as appropriate in due course.

So I'm going to start this with the reminder that I am not a lawyer or a judge and that this is not a country, this is a game community.

The categories of bans have since been removed, https://forum.totalfreedom.me/d/2961-totalfr…nity-guidelines is the guidelines we work to, though the French law aspect is still valid, especially given these forums are hosted on infrastructure geographically located in France.

Before I address the law part, I'm going to address the other two community guidelines this breaks

Quote

1) Respect & remain mindful of other members of the community.

3) Join the community to engage and have fun, not to advertise, promote hate or otherwise try to harm the overall community

I appreciate the post in question might well have been made with noble intent, and I certainly hope that is the case, however, given the context of the thread and the fact nobody seemed to take such offence on the other post (EDIT: The cat post for clarification), I'm less convinced of this.

With that in mind, I'm going to issue a permanent forum ban for the user in question, who can appeal no earlier than 90 days from today.

To cover the French Law aspect, while it is true that French law should be followed on the forums due to them residing there, the reality is I am not qualified to make such a judgement, and where these rules have been enforced previously were under very different circumstances, where the nuance of French law was not really required. Given no legal proceedings have been put forward, at this time I'm not going to go further with this, and would suggest that we focus less on specific law-breaking and more on community guidelines...

I'm going to unlock this thread but would ask people to keep it civil or I'll just re-lock it.

What are you referring to as "the cat post" here?
