I paid thousannds for it and got ripped off etc. etc.." nor for others to post comments like that when asked about a business/individual/product.
This invites legal action for defamation.
Posters are welcome to give a very rough outline of what they think might be a ******** etc. or something they are querying, without naming or clearly identifying the business or individual, in order to ask what others think about it.
Clues about the identity of the business or individual such as providing an address, or a name with a few letters missed out, are not permitted.
The Forum is not set up for anonymous people to publish in public whatever they wish about named or clearly identified businesses at OZmium's expense and legal risk.
The South Australian Government lists a number of alleged ********** at http://www.ocba.sa.gov.au/**********/05_getrich.html
However, legal action cannot be taken against the South Australian Government, because it has passed laws protecting itself from legal action. These laws do not apply to businesses like us.
Note their Disclaimer:
"The information contained on this site covering pyramid schemes, chain letters, get rich quick schemes and other ********** is published in the public interest under the authority of section 91A of the Fair Trading Act 1987 (SA).
Under section 91B of the Fair Trading Act 1987 (SA), no liability is incurred for publishing this information."
