In the past we have had to settle with a significant five figure payment for defamation when what was "defamed" was a racing get rich quick promotion aimed at battlers.

Legal action can also be taken against the poster.


If we allowed the sorts of public comment that some folks believe should be published here, sight unseen by the owners, we would be inundated with defamation claims and there would most likely be no Forum.

Hope this helps you understand why we are taking, what seems to some, to be an unreasonable stance on expressing your opinions.

OK so why don't we do this.

If something that "MAY" lead to legal issues with Pro-Pun,
Can be put this way on the forum.

EG;

I have an issue with a corporate bookmaker (NO-NAME),
Not adhering to the rules re racing N.S.W new betting agreement,
And have had my account closed.


Contact me at (Whatever ) Or I give permission,
For PRO-PUN to forward my email to other forum members.

You can then stipulate who you want to converse with,
If option B is required.

This way anyone who is interested can email you,
And correspond re the issue.

You have promoted what you want that will not be deleted by,
The moderators in normal circumstances..

You can communicate with everyone if you want to do that.

You can communicate with selected only (UP TO YOU).

This way your issue gets across & stays on the forum,
For everyone to see genuinely interested parties can,
Contact you by whatever rules you put in place re your email .

Can't think of any other way around this where everybody,
Gets what they want.

Of course what you are doing here can then be widespread through other forums etc.

Cheers.
Garyf.
